Chapter 5
"Qingshui, the dungeon is about to start, why hasn't she arrived yet?"
Elementalist Yun Yao stretched her neck, looked around, and asked anxiously.
"Will he stand us up?" A male player wearing a Paladin outfit next to the Elementalist couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes, Captain, let's quickly call for help." The male hunter with the ID [Salad with Meat Sauce] chimed in, "It's hard to call the priest right now. If you agree, I'll go out into the world and use my megaphone to call for help."
"No, wait a moment."
Faced with everyone's urging, Qingshui shook his head slightly and rejected their proposal.
"Why? Do you trust her so much?" Yun Yao stamped her feet in anger, a look of disappointment in her eyes. "Qingshui, you always trust others so easily! I think she's a liar and she didn't even intend to come!"
"She's here."
He didn't hear Yun Yao's complaints at all. The next second, after receiving a friend message from the other party, Qingshui relaxed his brows and replied quickly.
[We are behind Valentine, the same four of us as last time. Did you see it?]
Xia Mo looked in the direction indicated by the answer, and then his eyes met the other person's.
[I see, it’s over now]
[Player "Qingshui Zhubaicai" invites you to join his team. Do you agree? ]
Xia Mo raised his hand and selected [Agree]
The team list will be automatically refreshed on the left hand side, and the players in the list will be sorted from top to bottom according to the first letter of their ID.
At the end of the ID were circular patterns of varying colors. These were simplified versions of the various class logos. For example, the Star Officer she had chosen had a blue background with a starry sky as its thumbnail; Qingshui's Warlock had a black background with red flames; and the Elementalist named Yunyao had a rainbow-like horizontal stripe logo...
With these labels, teammates can see at a glance what professions their team has without having to expand the list.
After taking a quick glance at the occupations of the team members, Xia Mo had an idea in his mind and withdrew his gaze.
However, what she didn't know was that the moment she was pulled into the team, the faces of several people around Qingshui instantly turned ugly.
"Qingshui, she didn't choose a priest! She chose a star official!" Yun Yao stared at the blue star map in the list, furious. "I told you she was a liar! Qingshui, you didn't believe me! Look, now we've all been fooled by her."
The salad with meat sauce also became anxious, his tone even more panicked than before: "Captain, this won't work! We don't have a healer on the team, and it will be too dangerous to run the dungeon later. You'd better kick her out. I'm going to go get help now. There must be a lonely priest."
As he said that, he opened the Buluo Town channel and prepared to call for help.
The next second, he saw a figure standing in front of him.
The man with the salad and meat sauce was suddenly stunned, raised his head, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
Qing Shui was as gentle as ever, smiling and greeting the girl in front of him: "Have you leveled up?"
Just now he clicked on the list and saw that she was already level 6.
Xia Mo hummed without further explanation, then glanced at Valentine and asked Qingshui: "Should the teleportation fee be shared by everyone or will the captain pay for it?"
Valentine's teleportation fee is 1 silver coin. Before, when she went to the ruins of Cartaya alone, she had to pay for it herself, but now it is a team mode, she felt that she should ask clearly first.
Unexpectedly, before Qingshui could answer, the female elementalist next to him spoke unhappily, "It's already good enough that we agreed to let you join the team, and you still want to take advantage of our captain?"
"Yun Yao!" Qingshui frowned and scolded, "I'm sorry, my sister is relatively young and not very sensible, please don't take it to heart."
Xia Mo smiled: "No."
After experiencing the betrayal of the person closest to him in his previous life, Xia Mo now likes girls like Yun Yao who are quick-witted and talkative.
At least the latter writes her feelings on her face. Whether you like her or hate her, you can understand it after communicating with her. Isn't this more real than those traitors who hide a dagger behind a smiling face?
"Tsk, so fake!" Yun Yao turned her head away with a look of disgust.
"Okay, time's up, let's teleport."
Without hearing Yun Yao's complaints, Qingshui took the initiative to hand the silver coins to Valentine.
Before leaving, Xia Mo looked around deliberately.
It seemed like none of the "friends" who had teamed up with her to enter the dungeon were there this time...
Did he not come? Or did he teleport away before them?
Before she could think any more, the scene before her eyes changed.
[Regional Map: Sulu Sea]
They haven't entered the dungeon yet, they have to cross the blue circle of light on the beach ahead.
I always remember that I didn't allocate points for upgrades.
As Qingshui led everyone towards the aperture, Xia Mo silently opened the character panel.
Before players choose their jobs, the 5 points obtained from each upgrade will be automatically allocated by the system. The distribution pattern is also very balanced, with points allocated to strength, intelligence, agility, and defense.
This is mainly done to give players the opportunity to experience the gameplay of different professions.
However, after choosing a job, the points obtained from upgrading must be distributed by the player himself.
Xia Mo had already made plans for this.
She gave 4 of the 5 points to [Intelligence] and the remaining 1 point to [Balance].
If this point allocation plan were to be made public, Xia Mo could imagine that he would be called an idiot by others.
Among the magic professions, except for the priest who is quite special, the others are mainly output. It is understandable that she puts points into [Intelligence], but...
Only focusing on [Intelligence] without considering other attributes is tantamount to being a genius with only one subject. Either you will reach the peak of your success or you will destroy yourself. The risk is far greater than other allocation plans.
In addition, magic professions are notoriously short-legged (slow speed). Not only does she not give the remaining points to [Agility], but she uses them on the seemingly useless [Balance], which is a complete waste of resources!
Xia Mo had heard these arguments no less than a thousand times in his previous life.
However, only Xia Mo, who had truly experienced the game, knew that this plan was most suitable for her.
It doesn't matter if the defense is poor, just use the equipment to fight; it doesn't matter if the health is low, just drink a big bottle of red medicine; as for those people complaining that their agility is too low and they can't run away in dungeons or fights, Xia Mo just wants to laugh it off.
Admittedly, [Agility] is linked to the speed of running, but in terms of maximizing the effect, it is obviously better to allocate it to [Balance].
Because the calculation formula for the [Balance] attribute is, adding 1 point of balance is equivalent to increasing 0.6 agility + 0.5% crit/healing + 0.5% hit.
Although you give up 0.4 of agility, you gain gradually improved critical strike rate and hit rate in return. In the long run, it is definitely a sure-win deal.
Of course, there were not many people who dared to do this in the previous life.
Xia Mo is one of them.
In her previous life, she was a priest. Due to the 0.5% healing and 0.5% hit rate brought by each point increase, by the time she reached level 100, her healing hit rate was always higher than others, and her healing ability was also stronger than others. With the help of epic equipment, she was named [Top Priest] by the entire server after that battle.
However, it is worth noting that this solution is not without flaws.
The most fatal thing about it is that it is very difficult for players to survive in the early stages.
If her equipment and positioning cannot keep up, she will die in almost any role she plays. She will be cannon fodder in dungeons and will die within 10 seconds in PK. If she teams up with this level in the future, she will be despised by others, and even the guild will not want her, and people will look at her as if she were the plague god.
Only Xia Mo knows how this feeling feels.
However, the hardships endured in the early stages eventually turned into wings to become a god.
Xia Mo came back to his senses, took a deep breath, allocated the points, and solemnly pressed [Confirm].
Then she switched to the backpack interface and clicked on the skill blueprint [Starquake] to be learned.
With the blueprints, skills can be learned directly.
Xia Mo did not delay and immediately learned his first professional skill.
【Skills learned successfully! 】
[Starquake: (Single Attack) Consumes (Level + 6) * 2.5 mana points, dealing magic damage to a single target. No casting time or freeze time.]
Xingguan is good at group attacks, but now that he has just chosen his job, he obviously has to start with the simplest skills.
She is currently level 6, and using [Starquake] once consumes (6+6)*2.5=30 magic points.
A bit high.
After all, her total magic value (MP) is only 600 points, which means that if she doesn't replenish her mana, 20 star shocks will exhaust her MP.
This is also one of the reasons why the Star Officer profession is difficult to play - the skills consume too much MP, and it will be exhausted if you are not careful.
But for Xia Mo, 20 times is enough to pass the copy.
And don't forget that she also has the robe given by Quen, which comes with a passive skill [Star Shift] that converts damage into MP.
Thinking of this, Xia Mo calmed down and followed Qingshui into the copy transmission aperture.
On the other side of the team, four people quietly created a small private chat group.
Yun Yao: Forget it, I'll just treat this as a day trip to the dungeon (rolling eyes.jpg)
[Ripe Tomato: How can you clear a dungeon without a priest? Qingshui, what are you thinking?]
[Qingshui: One cannot go back on one's word. Since I was the one who invited her, no matter what career she ultimately chooses, I should fulfill my promise.]
[Yun Yao: Haha, my dear brother, you are still the best!]
[Qingshui: Stop wasting time in the group, we've already entered the dungeon, everyone should focus]
[(The current group chat has been disbanded)]
Looking at the news of disbandment, Yun Yao was speechless.
Her brother is good in every way except that he is stubborn!
After complaining silently, he finally followed the main force into the Sulu beach.
After being reborn, Xia Mo’s goal was naturally to get the first kill.
In order not to waste time, she picked up her weapon [Primary Star Staff] and rushed directly onto the beach.
Seeing this, others rushed in.
Under the beach, a large group of lizards broke out of the ground!
"Don't be afraid, they are just small monsters, just attack them in a group." Qingshui commanded in the voice channel.
For a moment, colorful skills bloomed on the beach.
A series of red numbers popped up, and under the bombardment, most of the lizards died.
"It's not that difficult~" Yun Yao played with her elemental stick, looking very satisfied.
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling vibration under his feet!
Before they could react, colorful lizards larger than before kept emerging from under the sand!
"Oh my god, why are there so many?!" The ripe tomato exclaimed, then swung his sword and used skills crazily.
He barely managed to kill a few of the colorful lizards.
However, compared with the number that is still increasing, these few are simply not worth mentioning.
Everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
"Captain, this number is a bit outrageous!" Slaw held his hunter's longbow with a frown on his face.
"And the defense is so high. I used the [Knight's Sword] several times, but it couldn't break the defense at all!" Ripe Tomato also gave loud feedback in the voice chat.
Yun Yao muttered, "Why is this dungeon so difficult? Can't even the five of us combined attack power handle the first level?"
The atmosphere became solemn.
The next second, a calm voice was heard from the voice chat.
"I can clear the level, and I also need to get the first kill."
"But the prerequisite is that you are willing to listen to my command."
Everyone was stunned and looked at her!
