Chapter 26 New Mechanism, New Gameplay
What's going on?
Stellan was in doubt and found another line of small words in front of her:
[Current number of souls: 5677, available for upgrade]
upgrade!?
As soon as she thought of this, a panel suddenly opened in front of her, scaring her.
【Stella】
[Life: 3]
[Strength: 3]
[Intelligence: 1]
[Endurance: 1]
[Agility: 1]
[Induction: 1]
[Souls required for upgrade: 644]
"What, what is this?" She looked at Gong Qiying helplessly. This thing was beyond her understanding.
"That's what I call a surprise,"
Gong Qiying clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations, after defeating the giant curse frog, you have cleared the upper area. Next, you can explore the lower level. There are more adventures waiting for you."
"Thank you. No, no, I'm asking you about this thing!"
"Well, it's a reward for those who pass the upper level," Gong Qiying said, "I don't know much, so I can only give a brief introduction."
"When you clear each level, you will encounter a bonfire. Resting here can quickly replenish lost physical strength, and you can also use souls to level up. No matter how strong you are, everyone's default level is one."
"You ask me where the soul comes from? It is dropped when you kill monsters."
Gong Qiying said: "This is a unique mechanism of the Sean Dungeon. After killing monsters, you can get different numbers of souls. After getting the souls, you can upgrade them at the campfire. Yes, the so-called upgrade makes you stronger, and the strengthening effect will not disappear after leaving the Sean Dungeon."
Stellan's breathing became heavier. She realized something and said, "So, as long as I keep killing monsters, I can become stronger?"
"That's the truth,"
She hurried over to look at the panel. She didn't know why her life and strength were 3 while the others were 1. Could it be because of the use of the soul of the giant cursed frog?
"It's easy to understand what life and strength represent, but intelligence is different from what you think of as IQ. It is related to the damage when using magic. The higher the intelligence, the more powerful the magic. Endurance is related to energy. The more endurance is upgraded, the longer you can hold the shield."
"I don't need to explain what sensitivity means. You can think of this thing as luck. The higher the sensitivity, the more likely it is that you will get the items from the monsters when you kill them."
Stellan was stunned for a moment, and said to herself: "This is really an unheard-of mechanism."
At this moment she realized the great potential of the campfire mechanism. If it could continue to be upgraded, people from all over the world would flock here, right?
"Let's see if we can upgrade our endurance level."
Her endurance became 2, and she shook her hands, not feeling any obvious changes.
[Souls required for upgrade: 807]
When her endurance rose to 4, Stellan finally felt a change in her body. It was a very subtle feeling. In short, she became stronger.
She then upgraded her strength, sensitivity, and agility a little, focusing on balanced development.
[Souls required for upgrade: 1899]
[Current number of souls: 78]
No more money.
Stellan was still not satisfied and closed the panel reluctantly. The feeling of becoming stronger just by moving your fingers was really addictive.
And it's pretty outrageous.
If she relied solely on training, the time required to become stronger would be calculated in years, but in the Sen Dungeon, she only needed to kill monsters!
She couldn't even imagine how crazy those people who had hit a bottleneck in their practice would be when they learned that they could upgrade easily and quickly here!
"By the way," Stellan didn't remember to ask Gong Qiying for his opinion until she finished leveling up: "Do you have any suggestions for leveling up?"
Gong Qiying thought for a moment and said, "First, increase your life points to 40."
"Ah, what's the point?"
"No, it just increases your chances of survival,"
"All right."
Just as Stellan was about to say something, she suddenly widened her eyes, pointed at Gong Qi and said incoherently in English: "You, you, you,"
"Me, me, me?" Gong Qiying tilted his head.
"Your body is disappearing!"
Gong Qiying, who was originally a golden spirit, gradually became transparent and would disappear in a few seconds!
"It's normal. A helper like me will return after helping you defeat the final boss monster in the area. Don't worry, I'm not dead."
After Stellan understood, she stopped panicking. She took a deep breath and said loudly, "Thank you for your help!"
Gong Qiying waved his hand, and his figure completely disappeared from her sight.
“It really disappeared”
Looking at the empty room, she felt a little lonely for a moment.
But this loneliness was soon diluted by the novelty of discovering the campfire, and she looked around the campfire in circles.
"Should I continue to kill monsters and collect souls on this floor, or should I move on to the next floor?"
Stellan thought about it carefully and felt that the meaning of life lies in moving forward and exploring, so she decisively entered the middle area.
Not long after, Gong Qiying saw that the mental power collected in the dungeon had increased by more than 200. It seemed that Stellan had failed in the middle level.
He looked at his growing mental strength, thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, after upgrading, adventurers can burst out more spiritual power, and even double it."
Mechanics like bonfires and souls were discovered by him by accident.
At first, he just found the bonfire from the Dark Souls world when he was looking through the available buildings. As a result, after placing it, mysterious changes occurred in the entire Sen dungeon.
To put it simply, this change means that you can gain souls by killing monsters, and with enough souls you can upgrade at the campfire.
It is really surprising that just placing a bonfire can lead to such a drastic change.
Gong Qiying is confident that this mechanism can attract more people to enter the Sen Dungeon!
Because becoming stronger is the ultimate temptation for everyone!
Adventurers become stronger in the dungeon, and more mental power is released when they die. It is a win-win situation.
Before, he was worried that the Sen Dungeon did not have an ultimate temptation to attract adventurers. Now, he saw that the campfire mechanism perfectly solved his problem.
"Then again, there wouldn't be any adventurer who wants to be the Sword God of Shilipo, right?"
In order to prevent adventurers from only farming souls in the upper areas, the monsters he arranged were all worthless creatures with weak strength and small numbers of souls dropped. Adventurers might be able to farm them in the early stages, but once they reached a certain level, the number of souls required would increase greatly.
Therefore, in order to level up faster, adventurers must enter the following areas to explore and challenge stronger monsters!
Then die, and turn his mental power into nourishment for Gong Qiying and this underground city!
In order to prevent strong people from leveling up, when the adventurer's strength reaches a certain level, the mental energy needed for upgrading will not be enough to increase the level by a few levels even if he kills all the monsters in the dungeon and levels it up every day and every month. The effect is not as good as training on his own.
It is very important to control the values.
"I hope Stellan can spread the news."
