"If you've identified some skills you'd like to buy, you can search for them in the trading area and purchase them at a cheaper price." Louis spoke calmly, his entire demeanor returning to its previous state.
Lin Feng, whose attention was entirely focused on the list, nodded unconsciously in response, his brain working at lightning speed.
Louis's analysis makes a lot of sense. Cultivating Hong Linggui can play a more crucial role. Investing too much in her is not as good as investing in her, while investing too little will have no effect and will be a waste.
As for the characteristics of the Red Spirit...
Lin Feng quickly found what he wanted among the skills in this area. 0-ring spells could be ignored, and 2-ring spells had high requirements and were expensive, so 1-ring spells were what he wanted. Among these, only two were more in line with his ideas.
Fear spell and cold touch.
Fear Technique: Instills fear in the enemy.
Touch of Cold: Attack the enemy with a chilling cold like that of a grave.
The spells "Fear" and "Touch of Cold" are priced at 50 Nightmare Points in the Workshop area. They include a spell ring that allows you to cast four spells at once.
Excluding spell rings, the Universal Principle of Spells sold in the Workshop area requires 20 Nightmare Points, while in the Trading Area it only requires 10 Nightmare Points.
Lin Feng chose these two spells primarily based on the ghostly characteristics of the Red Spirit Ghost. The Touch of Cold, combined with the ghost's own yin-coldness, greatly reduced the consumption of energy. The Terror Spell could also be amplified by the ghost itself and the Yin Si Cavity, giving the Red Spirit Ghost more room to maneuver.
Moreover, the Fear spell can provide considerable potential for Red Spirit to improve its value. Starting with the most basic Fear spell, subsequent spells such as Intimidate and Fear, as well as more advanced skills like Banshee's Howl and Fear Aura, are all quite good.
Compared to purchasing some attack spells that don't deal much damage in the early game, these kinds of spells, if used properly, are enough to interrupt the enemy's casting time and create a situation that is advantageous to you.
Most importantly, if this trend continues, it may very well surpass the Necromancer class in DNF.
In this way, the direction of Red Spirit's future development can be fixed. If you want to add something, you can contract some other ghosts, since a necromancer can summon more than one thing.
Fear spell (10), Cold touch (10).
Lin Feng immediately added these two items to his purchase list. Finally, there was the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique to consider. In terms of effectiveness, this technique was very effective, but it was quite controversial in different mission worlds.
For example, in the cyber world, even if he learned the teleportation technique, he couldn't use the magic because there were no Five Ghosts in a world without gods or ghosts.
Moreover, the effects of different Five Ghosts are also different. In Taoist magic, the Five Ghosts refer to five plague gods. One of them, Zhao Gongming, is both the autumn plague god and the god of wealth, which directly elevates the magic to several levels.
Raising five little devils?
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment. Raising five ghosts was not within his current considerations. Perhaps he would prioritize teleportation skills after returning from the next mission.
At present, the advantage of the Five Ghosts Transporting lies in maximizing the unpredictability of ghosts. It not only carries him across extremely long distances but also has extremely fast speed, which is equivalent to a substitute version of teleportation.
After calmly considering for a few seconds, Lin Feng finally put aside his idea. If he learned this Taoist technique, its main purpose would be to help him escape from the Ghost Realm. But when he was in such a predicament, he would have no chance to continue fighting.
The old man said that some items would become ineffective within the ghost realm. According to Louis, spatial items would need to be used when the controller was off guard.
For now, you can buy a teleportation scroll. It's not just for the Ghost Realm; you can also leave quickly if you encounter other crises.
Teleportation scroll (50) records spatial coordinates for fast teleportation.
After making his decision, Lin Feng immediately remembered the last item Louis had given him as a gift: the scroll of the Feign Death Technique.
This item can pause all physiological functions and enter a state of complete death when death is imminent. Once the mission time is up, the participant returns to their personal space, and the Nightmare Space sends them back from their suspended animation state and awakens them.
The only drawback is that he cannot control his own body. Once the enemy destroys his body or turns him into an undead, his feigned death will become real death.
"I need some escape tools," Lin Feng told Louis, revealing his final request.
Upon hearing this, Louis immediately laid out a row of props in front of Lin Feng.
"Mission World Escape Item (100): End all missions and immediately return to Nightmare Space. Cannot be used within a forced mission world."
"Personal Space Lock Item (50): Immediately enter your personal space to hide and wait for the mission time to end before returning. It can be tracked by special items and cannot be used in the forced mission world."
"Status Lock Item (200): Locks personal status, temporarily removes you from the mission world, and allows you to return to the Nightmare Space after the mission ends. You can share the mission status of your teammates, but cannot be used in the forced mission world."
“Fake Death Scroll (5): Can be used within a forced mission world.”
The scroll of feigned death costs 5 points... Lin Feng memorized it and selected the personal space locking item (50) from it.
He clearly remembered the guide's words after he completed his first mission: 'This is the only protection the Nightmare Space offers you.'
This statement certainly did not come from nowhere.
Putting aside these distant thoughts, Lin Feng asked Louis, "Do you know anything about Ghost Shadow?"
Ghostly figure?
Louis's astonishment was palpable; he hadn't expected the other party to encounter a special participant from the Nightmare Space so quickly: "Ghost Shadow is a rather well-known organization in the Nightmare Space. It is said that Ghost Shadow's first member transformed his flesh and blood body into an immortal ghost body through a special method, thereby gathering a group of participants who felt unfortunate about the 'human' species and establishing Ghost Shadow."
"Unfortunate?" Lin Feng crossed his arms and rested his chin on his hands, his expression subtle. It felt like this word was describing some immature young people. When he was Yu's age, he always had many strange thoughts.
However, Louis quickly explained: "Sir, this is merely an external rumor, originating from some participants who have suffered at the hands of the Ghost Shadow, or perhaps it is a misleading statement deliberately spread by the Ghost Shadow."
"As an organization with an extremely high survival rate, no one would underestimate them because of these rumors."
Lin Feng nodded, then asked, "What is the secret technique of Ghost Shadow?"
“Nobody knows.” A meaningful smile spread across Louis’s puppet-like face, which deeply shocked Lin Feng.
Logically, all skills within the Nightmare Space should have an origin, so how could they not be found... unless the skills originated from the outside world, or even were abilities that were optimized and modified by the Ghost Shadow!
'If you put the same amount of nightmare points into a dog...'
Familiar words echoed in his ears: the participants would not be limited to the skills and things within the mission world, but would go further to unleash the power itself.
I see!!
Lin Feng finally understood that if he relied solely on the Nightmare Space's resources and learning, his weaknesses would be clearly in someone else's hands.
There are also organizations like the Yin-Yang School, which form teams and select members...
"Some organizations will bring their legacy into reality?" Lin Feng's gaze was extremely serious as he took in every expression and movement of Louis.
"Yes."
Louis responded in a very serious tone as well.
Things are getting complicated and interesting... Lin Feng exhaled slowly.
What does this represent? Mission worlds originate from various films and legends; their dramatic structures and popular interpretations inevitably lead to core changes, and those participants with inherited knowledge...
Therefore, it would be necessary for him to find suitable teammates or join some sect.
"The entertainment area is separate from the nightmare space; it is a vast area formed by the combined personal spaces of countless participants."
Louis's voice pulled Lin Feng out of his thoughts, and he felt a wave of bewilderment as he thought of the enormous creature he had only glanced at.
Before entering the world of Silk Quest, he had visited the entertainment district once. Countless buildings of various fantasy styles were scattered in the center of a dark space. Among them, the most unforgettable for him was a neon-lit Heavenly Palace City.
Out of caution, and also because he didn't feel he had anything worth consuming at the time, he gave up the idea of exploring further.
In retrospect, the existence of the entertainment zone seems more mysterious than that of the trading zone and the workshop zone.
After asking Louis about some matters concerning the entertainment area, Lin Feng went to the trading area alone. As for the bottomless entertainment area, he once again put it aside, as it was an even more terrifying place than the Nightmare Space, because the latter followed the rules.
Lin Feng casually opened the trading section, and his gaze was momentarily drawn to an item.
"The human skin mask of serial killer Miles: One of the ritual items for the human-demon transformation. It can accumulate resentment through killing, and once it reaches a certain level, it can activate the human-demon transformation ritual. (130 Nightmare Points)"
Human Demon?
With his curiosity piqued, Lin Feng began searching for related human-demon items in the trading area.
"Miles the Bonecrusher's Knife: One of the ritual items for the human-demon transformation. It has accumulated 20 resentment points and can be used to initiate the human-demon transformation ritual. (120 Nightmare Points)"
"Human-Demon Altar Blueprint: A core item for the Human-Demon ritual. It can activate a magic circle using resentment points to complete the human-demon transformation. (200 Nightmare Points)"
"Murderer Miles's Slaughtering Tips (Night Stealth): 200% Agility bonus at night, requires completion of Human-Demon transformation. (400 Nightmare Points)"
"The Serial Killer's Bloodlust: Blood will reveal the serial killer's unique talents, increasing base attributes by 50% and enhancing the sense of smell by 200%. Requires completion of the human-demon transformation. (300 Nightmare Points)"
"The malevolent incarnation of the serial killer Miles: Embrace evil, embrace malice, and be reborn. Participants will receive corresponding enhancements to their demonic attributes based on their actions. (500 Nightmare Points)"
