Chapter 9
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often the most confused. In his previous life, Xia Mo had been with them for so long and never felt that there was anything strange about the latter.
But when the incident actually happened, she looked back and realized that they had said such heartbreaking words.
It's interesting to say, maybe it's because of her rebirth, but in this life she was able to see the true face of one of them so early.
Xiaobei, game ID: Xiaobei is not going south.
When I was in high school, there was a girl in the same grade as me but in a different class. She was also a classmate of another girl named Xiaoyu and a boy named Yaohe.
Because of some family connections, the three of them have been playing together since childhood.
And she was not a member of their circle at the beginning.
It was only because of that incident that Xiaobei pulled her into their circle.
In her senior year of high school, Xiaobei was falsely accused of stealing from a classmate. Without any clear evidence, her homeroom teacher harshly insulted Xiaobei in the hallway in front of many classmates.
All the students passing by either just watched or pointed and talked with the teacher. The best ones just walked away with their books in their arms.
In short, no one stood up to question the class teacher's actions.
Except Xia Mo.
As one of the top students in her grade, her words carry much more weight than those of her peers.
After raising reasonable and well-founded questions to the head teacher and warning him with the school's reputation, the teacher became intimidated and finally apologized and let Xiaobei go.
From then on, Xiaobei stuck to her like a follower.
Apart from classes, whenever it’s breaks, lunch breaks, after school, or during extracurricular activities... Xiaobei always enthusiastically pulls her into her own little circle.
After a few interactions, even Xia Mo, who didn't like interacting with others, gradually became close to Xiaoyu, Yao He and the others.
Graduated from high school.
Xia Mo was admitted to the First Military University of Alman Star as he wished and became a reserve mecha commander.
Xiaobei is not good at studying, but her family runs a group of enterprises and is quite rich. Her parents sponsored her to enter the Alman Star Economic University, planning that she would inherit her father's business after graduation.
Xiaoyu's grades are average, but she performed exceptionally well in the school selection exam and was unexpectedly admitted to the same military university as Xia Mo, but with a different major, the Logistics Department.
As for Yao He...
Xia Mo narrowed his eyes and recalled.
It seemed that among the four people in the previous life, he was the only one who had the worst life.
It was obvious that he was talented and had the ability to be admitted to any B-level university on the planet Alman, but Xia Mo remembered that Xiaobei mentioned later that something happened in his family, which made it impossible for his family to afford the high tuition fees. Therefore, he was asked to transfer to an E-level college and use the scholarship from that college to support his entire family.
But these are things for the future. Right now, they are just freshmen who have just received their admission letters.
If history had no beginnings, Xia Mo remembered that they should have completed the level 5 copy like himself.
However, according to Xiaobei's complaint to Xiaoyu just now, they had a hard time even beating a wild monster, let alone clearing the dungeon.
Thinking of this, Xia Mo raised the corners of his lips sarcastically.
Yes, she had to fight against wild monsters alone before, and her equipment durability was consumed the fastest. With her blocking the way with this shield, how could they not win?
Now that there was no one to protect them from damage, they naturally dropped back to their normal level.
No longer having any friendship for them, Xia Mo coldly closed the page and opened his own character panel.
She jumped from level 6 to level 8, gaining a total of 10 upgrade points.
Following the previously established principle of 4 intelligence and 1 balance, she quickly completed the allocation and set the [Automatic Upgrade Allocation] mode so that she wouldn't have to manually click every time and distract her attention.
After closing the attribute panel, she expanded the weapons and equipment interface.
I scanned the attributes of each piece of equipment one by one, thought about it, and decided not to change it.
It is true that in order to achieve success, one must first sharpen his tools. Having good equipment can greatly improve the efficiency of completing tasks, but.
She plans to use the money from replacing her equipment on something more valuable.
——Learn life skills.
After the player reaches level 6, life skills are unlocked.
Players who want to get involved in this area can contact the NPC in the town.
For example, if you want to learn [Sewing], you can go to Aunt Nina in the tailor shop to learn the skills. She is the one who expanded her backpack just now. If you want to learn [Forging], you need to contact Mr. Brett in the blacksmith shop.
What Xia Mo wanted to learn was the latter.
After mastering the [Forging] skill, she can design and forge her own weapons, armor, and protective gear.
Although forging a weapon will take a lot of time and energy, and is far less effective than buying it directly from a merchant, judging from the final quality, only things forged by yourself are the most suitable for you.
In her previous life, Xia Mo often went to the trading company, especially when she entered a new level, she would go to the trading company to look around, hoping to find equipment that suits her.
However, the company's products are not custom-made.
The shelves are filled with finished products made by other blacksmiths and tailors.
If players are lucky, they may be able to find something that satisfies them, but according to Xia Mo's experience, the higher the level, the harder it is for players to find equipment that suits them in all aspects.
For example, when she was level 70, she urgently needed a piece of armor that could increase [Intelligence]. However, after searching all over the shops, she only found one piece that had a slight intelligence bonus. The rest of the armors were basically for increasing [Defense] and [Life], which she really didn't want.
However, there was no other way. Since he couldn't find the best, he could only settle for the second best. In the end, Xia Mo still spent a high price to buy this piece of armor that only added a little intelligence.
Because of these experiences, Xia Mo later felt more and more that equipment that could meet his expectations in all aspects was hard to come by, and excellent blacksmiths were even rarer.
In this case, instead of letting others decide her attributes, she might as well be her own blacksmith!
However, learning [Forging] was not just for the sake of the character, she had a more important reason.
——connection.
Players already know that the stronger their physical fitness is in real life, the higher the physical fitness of their characters in the game will be.
But what they don't know is that, in turn, the role will also affect reality.
This feature was later called "connection" by players.
However, this connection is currently very small and most people cannot notice it. Only after reaching level 20, some players gradually feel that their physical and mental strength in reality have changed.
In her previous life, Xia Mo was not an ordinary player. She was a top priest, and her attributes and skills in all aspects were at the top of the same profession. Therefore, compared with ordinary players, she noticed the increase in mental power in reality earlier.
The First Military Academy of Alman Star provided free physical examinations for all students. During that period, Xia Mo would go for a check-up every week.
The data proves that her mental strength has indeed improved.
The increased mental strength will directly affect her perception and control of the mecha!
As a mecha pilot who will go to the battlefield in the future, if she has stronger control power than the enemy, she will undoubtedly be able to control the situation and achieve an overwhelming victory!
Thinking of this, Xia Mo suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled. Her goal was far more than that.
An excellent mecha master should not only be able to operate, but also learn how to quickly forge mechas suitable for various harsh environments in dangerous situations!
However, she didn't understand this until the middle stage of her previous life. Unfortunately, she had to start from scratch at that time and could no longer catch up with those players who chose [Forging] in the first batch. This has always been a regret in her heart.
The blacksmith shop was not far from the tailor shop. After Xia Mo turned into the alley at the corner of the street and turned left, he arrived.
The shop owner, Brett, was surrounded by a group of players.
Xia Mo pricked up her ears and listened. Some of them were asking about the price of weapons, and some... just like her, wanted to learn skills.
It seems that compared to being a tailor who only mends things, players generally prefer the blacksmithing class that can make tools and weapons.
However, not everyone is suitable for forging.
Even though there are many people clamoring to learn now, after a few months, as the difficulty of forging increases, many people who cannot endure the hardship will naturally give up.
Therefore, Xia Mo was not worried at all about the competition among blacksmiths. In this industry, it is a process of survival of the fittest. Whoever survives to the end will be the strong one.
"Hello Mr. Bright, I would like to learn forging skills from you."
Standing in front of the crowded blacksmith shop, Xia Mo bowed politely to the other party.
