"Damn it, you've taken advantage and you're trying to play dumb?"
The burly man raised his fist to strike Jiang Hao on the head, but Jiang Hao pretended not to see it.
Just as a fist the size of a sandbag was about to hit his head, a voice rang out.
"Forget it, Liu Chuang."
The one speaking was that girl.
"We need to get down to business; there's no need to create unnecessary trouble."
The girl looked at Jiang Hao with disdain, then turned her head away and followed the crowd outside.
The dozen or so burly men had no choice but to hurry up and follow.
"Drink, ptooey!"
The burly man named Liu Chuang glared at Jiang Hao, spat angrily on the ground, and then left with the others.
Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief after they had gone far away.
"Wow, this game is so realistic!"
"Hey, who pinched my butt?"
"Uh, sorry, I was just trying it out, but you know what, the feel is 100% realistic."
"C, if you want to try, go find Nm to try it!"
......
In just a short while, Jiang Hao noticed that the number of people in the newbie village had increased dramatically, resembling a tourist attraction during a holiday, with people packed shoulder to shoulder. The NPCs were already surrounded by a dense crowd. The white light at the location where the newbies had been teleported to was still flashing incessantly; it seemed that if they waited any longer, the village would only become more crowded, and even if they wanted to leave, they might not be able to squeeze through.
"The quests in the beginner village give very little experience and the rewards are pitifully small. It's not worth spending so much time on them, especially in the current situation. It's better to go out and fight monsters to level up," Jiang Hao thought to himself.
Following the flow of people, Jiang Hao left the village and entered a large forest. As the crowd dispersed, the oppressive feeling around him disappeared, and Jiang Hao greedily took several deep breaths of the forest air.
"Damn it, I'm about to be crushed to death."
"The air in the game is so much fresher; where in real life can you find such a good environment?"
As Jiang Hao spoke, he walked forward along the path in the woods. Beside the path, and deep in the woods, he saw groups of several or even a dozen people forming circles, each holding various weapons—short swords, short bows, and staffs.
Jiang Hao didn't know what they were doing, so he stared at a circle of seven or eight people directly in front of him and observed them carefully.
After waiting for a while, a small mouse appeared among the group. The group immediately tightened their encirclement and kept throwing their weapons at it.
This is hardly a monster-fighting game.
This is clearly a group fight!
Jiang Hao was somewhat alarmed. He looked around the entire forest and saw that every place where the rat monsters spawned was surrounded by a group of people.
In this situation, even if you're a little too far away, you might not be able to catch the monster. No wonder the archers and mages just went straight into melee combat with their weapons.
A classic case of too many monks and too little porridge!
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared, and the mage holding the staff disappeared.
A moment later, another flash of white light appeared, and the archer with the short bow disappeared as well.
Holy crap, a rat can kill people?
Su Hao quickly used a detection spell on the rat monster through a gap in the crowd.
The Detection skill is a built-in auxiliary skill that every player possesses. Using Detection, you can obtain information about monsters and characters up to 10 levels above your own level.
[Little Mouse]
Faction: Neutral
Level: 1
Life: 100
Physical attack: 16
Physical defense: 2.8
Speed: 6
Skills: None
Such terrifying data!
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised and blankly opened his character attribute panel.
Name: Lord of Hell
Class: Necromancer
Level: 1
Life: 30
Strength: 3 (affects health, 1 Strength = 10 Health)
Agility: 3 (affects movement speed, 1 agility = 1 point of movement speed)
Intelligence: 8 (Necromancer's main attribute, 1 point of intelligence = 2 points of spell attack power = 15 points of mana = 1/2 spell resistance)
Spirit: 7 (Affects mana regeneration rate; mana regeneration per second = Spirit / 5 + 12)
Mana: 120
Physical attack power: 1.5
Spell Attack Power: 16
Physical defense: 0.75
Spell Resistance: 3.5
Movement speed: 3
Experience: 0/100
Holy crap! Is this even playable?
The level 1 mouse has 100 HP and 16 attack power.
I have a rare class, with only 30 HP and 1.5 attack power?
If you get scratched by a little mouse, you'll be half-dead immediately; if you get scratched again, you'll die instantly!
No wonder that mage and archer died just now!
If you don't team up, even the warrior with the highest HP will have a hard time surviving, right?
Is this game really that difficult?
That's rather abstract!
Moreover, judging from the movement speed, the little mouse has 5 points, while I only have 3 points.
This means that if you can't win, you can't escape even if you try, and there's no possibility of flying a kite.
What's the point of playing this game?!
Jiang Hao resisted the urge to quit the game and delete his account, and instead opened the talent section to take a look.
Several large orange characters immediately caught Jiang Hao's eye.
The Mercy of Dizziness
Talent Level: SSS
Holy crap!
This is it! This is it!
The protagonist's cheat ability, a common trope in online novels, finally appears here.
Jiang Hao immediately became excited and quickly looked at the detailed instructions below.
Basic attacks or melee skills will stun the target for 1 second and deal an additional 5 points of true damage.
Talent activation interval: 5 seconds.
Characteristic: This talent is at the highest level and can hit any target with 100% accuracy.
The dizziness cannot be relieved or dispelled.
The damage is true damage, ignoring any defense or skill status.
Growth: For each target killed that is 5 levels higher than your own level, the stun duration increases by 0.01 seconds.
For each boss that is at least the same level as yourself that you kill, your damage increases by 100 points.
Note: Summoned creatures can perfectly benefit from the stun effect of this talent, and the damage effect is reduced to 50%.
Hiss~
Jiang Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At first glance, this talent seems unremarkable; it's just a control skill, nothing special.
but!
There's so much to consider regarding its future growth potential.
If you kill 100 monsters that meet the conditions, the stun duration will increase to 2 seconds.
What if you kill 400 of these monsters?
The stun duration can be increased to 5 seconds, which can completely cover the talent's activation interval!
When the time comes, you only need to hit the monster once to stun it for 5 seconds.
One more hit and you'll be stunned for another 5 seconds!
Does it offer unlimited coverage?
Has anyone ever been dizzy until they died?
It's an absolute monster-slaying and treasure-hunting weapon, and an absolute PvP god-tier skill, isn't it?
What's even more noteworthy is that summoned creatures can also enjoy the effects of this talent!
That means that as long as there are enough summons, even without upgrading talents, perfect stun coverage can be achieved.
Although I don't know much about the Necromancer class in the game Lingxu, the Necromancers in the novel can summon a huge number of creatures. Often, one Necromancer can be as powerful as an entire legion.
This shows just how terrifying the number of summoned creatures a necromancer can summon is!
The necromancer in the Lingxu game should be pretty good too, right?
Jiang Hao rubbed his chin with his fingers, revealing a sly, mischievous grin.
He was in a great mood and opened the skills section.
There are a total of four skills in the entire job skill bar. The last three are grayed out, and only the first icon is colored.
Jiang Hao looked closely at the first skill icon and saw a white skeletal hand emerging from a black tomb against a light gray background.
The skill descriptions are below.
Resurrection (lv1): Summons 1 creature to aid the necromancer in battle.
(Upgrading this skill requires 2 skill points; current skill points: 0)
Below is more detailed information about the skill.
The necromancer uses forbidden dark magic to resurrect the dead. When all the flesh and blood have vanished from the corpse, the resurrection is complete. And you, necromancer, will gain a powerful ally!
After carefully reading the skill description several times, Jiang Hao was certain of one thing: upgrading the skill would definitely increase the number of summoned creatures.
But this skill point...
Based on my years of gaming experience, I should be able to automatically gain skill points after leveling up.
Jiang Hao thought to himself that in this situation, he either needed to find a team to level up or kill monsters of level 5 or higher to improve his talent.
It's impossible for him to steal a monster from that group; he'd never do it in his life. In the Spirit Ruins, only the first hit on a monster counts as stealing it. As a necromancer, he's naturally low in agility; how could he possibly outmaneuver those melee classes? Besides, stealing a monster means drawing aggro, and the monster will definitely attack him first. Without teammates' help, he'd be hard-pressed to survive!
Teaming up with others is different. When several people form a team, the experience gained from killing monsters can be split equally.
"A group of people fighting a single monster, just loafing around and waiting to die, there's no future in that!"
Jiang Hao glanced around at the circles of several or a dozen people, muttered something in disgust, and then continued walking forward.
