Chapter 171
Let’s go back to the Isai Gulf a few days ago. Xia Mo got off the ocean-going ship after it docked.
She walked carefully along the shore, using the night lights from the factory on the hill.
The giant octopus was just below the water surface in the middle of the bay. Although it was dark at night and Xia Mo could not see clearly, her sense of danger was telling her that under the water on her right, a pair of golden pupils were staring at her with malice.
It would be better if it were paying attention. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be paying attention, otherwise this trip would be in vain.
Xia Mo deliberately stopped there for a while, and just then, several huge tentacles suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the black bay!
They swung like whips, but Xia Mo was prepared. He jumped to the side and swung his weapon at the tentacles, binding them with golden chains!
The tentacles were tightly trapped by the golden chains that came down from nowhere. Xia Mo seized the opportunity and walked back and forth on the shore to attack.
Her magic attack and critical strike have reached a level far beyond that of players of the same level. Coupled with her extremely high hit rate, none of the skills she throws out miss.
The tentacles were smashed to pieces by Xia Mo. When the 3 seconds were up, it wanted to teach Xia Mo a lesson. However, Xia Mo was faster than it. Before the tentacles fell, she had slid out from underneath, and then made a slow-down move with her backhand!
The goddess of luck seemed to be on her side tonight, as there was a 40% chance that the debuff that slowed down the monster would take effect. The tentacles that had just been freed from their restraints were forced to reduce their attack speed.
It still took 3 seconds, and Xia Mo bombarded wildly.
Because it comes with the status skill [Concentrate], which automatically triggers the skill instant release every 5 rounds, in order to maximize its use, Xia Mo always saves the big skill Comet Storm for the 5th round!
Several tentacles were broken off by Xia Mo, and the broken limbs fell on the shore, twitching slightly a few times, and then died.
Probably realizing that she was not someone to be trifled with, the giant octopus, after having its limbs severed, silently sank a few meters into the water and observed from a distance.
Xia Mo deliberately moved closer to the shore, trying to pull back the hatred, but the giant octopus actually got scared. When she moved forward, it moved backward, always keeping a distance from her.
The trouble with intelligent monsters is that they can think and weigh the pros and cons. They are not like the big, stupid guys on the mainland whose hatred can be easily drawn away.
Unfortunately, as a star officer, she doesn't have the warrior's taunting skills, so if she wants to attract hatred, she can only rely on attacking.
But now the giant octopus was beyond her maximum attack range, and she had to find a way to lure it over.
His gaze returned to the ocean-going ship on the shore, and Xia Mo sighed softly. It seemed that he would have to pay for the repairs.
She originally planned to drain the giant octopus' blood on the shore, but the latter was smarter than she thought and simply retreated into the water. Then she had no choice but to sail over to lure it out.
There are strategies for luring. The most important point is that the boat must never be driven to the center of the bay. The water there is as deep as a bottomless pit. Once you are swept under by the giant octopus, there is only death.
You have to drive around the edge of the bay, running while leading the way, and engage in a tug-of-war to see who can't hold on and falls first.
Once he made up his mind, Xia Mo immediately returned to the boat.
In the dark bay, the black hull is moving on the sea. At first glance, it seems to be moving steadily, as if it is on vacation. However, when you look behind the stern, you will find a pair of golden eyes following it more than ten meters away.
Xia Mo calculated the distance and launched an attack on the boat.
The water surface was making a loud noise due to the skill. The giant octopus under the water was dodging and trying to chase unwillingly, pulling like this. Xia Mo saw its conflicted mood and drove the boat to harass it continuously.
The giant octopus couldn't bear the annoyance, and when its health bar dropped to half, it suddenly fought back!
boom!
The big head was stuck straight into the crevice of the rock, but Xia Mo had already done a beautiful tailspin and dodged it sideways at 90 degrees.
The rest is much easier. You know, standing still and dealing damage is what long-range magic systems are best at.
After grinding for more than 40 minutes, when the giant octopus's health bar was about to reach 0%, it suddenly spun its tiger's mouth and forced its head out!
"Human, if it weren't for you getting rid of the scourge of the Hydra for my Octopus Clan, I would have dragged you down with me to be buried with me today."
A deep and powerful voice came from the sea. Xia Mo retracted his weapon: "So you can speak?"
Why didn't you admit your mistake earlier? Did you have to wait until you were dying to save your reputation?
The giant octopus who heard her thoughts: "..."
"Anyway, you've passed my test. Take it. This is your reward."
[Congratulations, you have received the blessing of Octopus King Odysseus: Permanent Constitution +0.05]
[Successfully completed the physical enhancement task, experience +35,000, gold +3,000]
With a splash, the giant octopus gave the reward and dived into the deep sea.
In an instant, her ocean-going ship was the only one left in the vast Isai Bay. Xia Mo relaxed his arms, which were a little tired from repeatedly swinging weapons, and checked his current physical strength.
It's almost hitting the bottom.
Got to log off quickly.
The convenience of having your own boat is that you don’t have to go back to the hotel when you go offline. As long as you make sure there are no monsters in the nearby sea area, players can spend the night on the boat.
The next day, Xia Mo crawled back to the game early.
The early morning sun shone on the bay, the sea surface was sparkling and peaceful, the ocean-going ship was docked well, and no accidents occurred throughout the night.
Only then did she have time to sort out the spoils she had obtained from fighting the Hydra last night.
A total of 3 pieces of equipment and more than ten miscellaneous items were produced.
All the miscellaneous items were taken back, but there was only one piece of equipment that she could use, which was a belt. The remaining two pieces were for the warrior and the paladin.
The belt is of good quality, second-level platinum, one level higher than the first-level platinum she is wearing. Its main attributes increase [Intelligence] and [Balance], which is very suitable for magic attack professions.
The only regret is that this time it doesn’t come with any special attributes.
But the regret only lasted for a brief moment, and was quickly alleviated by the added several hundred points of intelligence.
He put on a new belt on the spot, and his attributes increased significantly again.
The [Constitution] column in the personal panel also increased from 7.65 last year to 7.70.
Recalling that her initial physical fitness score in her previous life was only 6.2, less than a year after her rebirth, her physical fitness had increased by a full 1.5 points.
What does 1.5 points mean?
It can be upgraded from ordinary A-level to the top level of A+, and it is just a little bit away from S-level.
This is still at level 40. When she reaches level 50, 60... until the maximum level 100, her physique may have the hope of being promoted to double S or even 3S?
The future is uncertain, so Xia Mo didn't think too much about it for the time being. She just stared at the three numbers 7.70 on the panel and fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, the members of Qingyaozhishang discovered something terrifying: Mo Se, known as the "King of Rolls" and a leveling maniac, had actually been online for 20 hours the entire day yesterday? Didn't she sleep?! It was truly terrifying!
In the guild, everyone was shocked when they saw the online records following the ink-colored ID.
[Ripe Tomato: Just when I thought 18 hours online a day was the limit for humans, the boss always managed to break my record with his actions (Looking at the Sky.jpg)]
[Laughing until my face collapses: I finally felt like I could catch up with the big guys, but now? I'm left far behind again]
[Godlike Wings: Let me be frank, I'm a complete wreck... Sleeping less than 4 hours a day is killing me.]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: As if you can get up early every day if you don't give up? (rolling eyes.jpg)]
[Salad with meat sauce: I seconded the proposal. I have never seen wings online before 12 noon.]
[Ripe Tomato: @Wings, you said you'd study really hard and strive for success? How come half a year has passed and you're still lying in bed?]
[Godlike Wings:? Why are you always targeting me? She's the one who started it all!]
Boiled Cabbage in Clear Water: @Wings, who's the real culprit? (smile.jpg)
The guild fell silent for a moment.
After a few seconds, Wings' reply popped up: [Hehehe President~ rub your hands~]
[Boiling cabbage in water: (smile.jpg)]
Qingyao went straight up. Who doesn't know that Qingshui is very protective of ink? Seeing the head of the family appear, the others "cheered" and raised their wings one by one.
Ripe Tomato: Ahahaha, you've been caught by the president! I told you to talk nonsense, so I'll slap you in the face.
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: Wings, you have to be online for a full 20 hours to clear your sins (sly smile)]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: 20 hours online +1]
【Salad with meat sauce: 20 hours online +10086】
[Godlike Wings: ??? You bunch of beasts!]
While everyone was joking around in the guild, Xia Mo was still busy killing monsters in the wild.
As the elite monster 5 levels higher than her fell to the ground, experience points flowed into her body.
【Congratulations, you have reached level 44! 】
On the world rankings, when passers-by happened to see the level number following her ID, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"She's been leveling up so fast lately! Is she on a rocket?"
Facing his companion's surprise, his teammate exclaimed: "Have you forgotten her tower climbing record a few days ago? She holds the first record for every floor of the tower. It is said that the experience points are quite generous. One floor is comparable to the day when she climbed the tower. She has already increased by 3 levels from 40."
Faster than riding a rocket.
However, this also further proves that the experience points gained from climbing the tower are far richer than those from killing monsters in the wild.
It's a pity that not everyone can climb the Tower of Babel. People who are not strong enough can't even climb to the 30th floor, let alone climb to the 59th floor like her? They dare not even dream of it.
The companion sighed enviously: "Okay, it's indeed a height we can't reach. Let's just take the conventional route~"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw that the "Level: 44" behind his ID suddenly dropped to 43.
"What's going on? Did you just see it?" The companion blinked in surprise.
"Look, I saw it, how come her level dropped?" The teammates also stared in disbelief, rubbing their eyes repeatedly to make sure they were not seeing things.
"Could it be a death penalty? At her level, dying once would cost her a whole level."
As he spoke, he saw level 43 drop again to level 42, then to level 41, until finally... it dropped to only level 40.
"What the hell, what did she do?"
The two of them stared with wide eyes, extremely shocked.
Xia Mo didn't know that her behavior had shocked some players. She was calm at the moment and was mechanically clicking the [Upgrade] button on the talent panel.
3 talent skills: cooling compression, physical fitness, and body solidification.
Due to limited experience points, she did not give any cooling compression points this time, but only clicked on the body strengthening technique and the body solidification technique.
It took a full 4 levels of experience to successfully feed the last two from level 2 to level 5.
[Upgrade Successful! Current Level of Physical Fitness: Level 5 (Physical Defense Permanently Increased by 10%)]
[Upgrade Successful! Current Level of Solidification: Level 5 (Magic Defense Permanently Increased by 10%)]
Level 5 is the highest level of talent skills. If you want to go higher, you need to use the experience points doubled when you upgrade to level 5 to break through it. After reaching the breakthrough state, both skills will increase the defense by 18%, which can be called a turtle shell.
Xia Moduo wanted to put on this invincible turtle shell right now, but unfortunately, her experience value had reached the bottom.
Her bottom line was to stay at level 40. If she dropped any lower, some quests would be difficult to accept, so she gave up.
Physical defense and magical defense each increased by 10%, plus she had previously obtained several titles that increased defense. After all the calculations, her average defense level was now on par with the warriors of the same level.
She specifically pulled out the data from the Warrior Rankings and compared them. The first-place H*Honor currently had a physical defense of 6198 and a magic defense of 5922. The second-place Red Rose had a physical defense of 5985 and a magic defense of 6201.
Her physical defense is 5899 and her magical defense is 5705, which is not inferior to these two people at all.
Xia Mo was quite satisfied with the two attributes, and she decided to wait until the next stage to consider a breakthrough.
After completing the regular tasks, Xia Mo went to the grocery store and saw that the agreed time was almost up, so he hurriedly teleported back to the royal city.
At the registration counter, H* Rongrong first checked the time, then smiled at her, "As expected of the number one contestant, I timed it perfectly for you."
The only thing missing is to put the words "time management master" on her head.
Xia Mo shrugged: "I only have 24 hours in a day. I have to complete tasks, level up, and keep my promise to PK with you. I have to keep track of time."
"Not much more to say. I'm in a hurry. You start the game. What kind of game is it?" she asked.
There are many modes in the PK field, and the most common one among players is the best-of-three system.
Unexpectedly, the other party smiled and said, "Best of 5 games."
That's fine. Xia Mo was about to nod when H* Rongyu suddenly added meaningfully, "Take off all your equipment and fight with your bare hands."
Xia Mo was slightly stunned.
H*Honor: "Are you scared?"
Realizing his intention, Xia Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly, turning his surprise into a faint smile: "Are you afraid or not? Just go up and try it and you'll know."
[System: Player H* has challenged player Mo Se with honor. All warriors are welcome to come and watch!]
World players: Frog, are we going to fight?
