Chapter 4
“Ding, ding, ding…”
Ye Bai transformed into a miner, and relying on the fact that his weapon did not consume durability, he hammered away all the way, not missing any piece of fluorite he saw.
She cleared out another wave of ten bats and continued mining until her stamina reached 49, then she stopped.
When the physical value is lower than 50, the character will get the negative status of "fatigue", which will reduce the character's collection and production efficiency and attack defense by 20%. At this time, mining is no longer cost-effective.
Ye Bai opened his backpack, and there were 45 fluorite fragments inside.
The player's initial backpack has a total of 20 slots. The weight limit only applies to weapons and supplies. The weapon carrying limit is 4 slots. Carrying more than 2 slots will affect the player's speed. Supplies refer to items such as ore and wood that are very heavy in reality. The upper limit of supplies is 5 slots. Carrying more than 3 slots will also affect the player's speed. The storage of other items is not affected.
Fluorite and fluorite fragments are both materials. Every time the upper limit of a group is exceeded, additional material qualifications will be occupied.
Among the supplies that Ye Bai was carrying, 3 complete fluorites, a group of 40 fluorite fragments, and the remaining 5 fluorite fragments occupied three full grids. She stopped where she was and synthesized all the fluorite fragments that could be synthesized. Because a group of complete fluorites can be stacked into 20, after synthesis, it became 14 complete fluorites and 1 fluorite fragment. The quantity was not reduced in essence, but a grid of precious space was saved.
If you don't have the conditions to upgrade your space backpack in the early stages, you have to work hard on these details.
The price was that Ye Bai's physical strength was depleted to 38 points. If the physical strength was completely reduced to zero, the "tired" state would become "exhausted" and the health value would continue to be deducted.
There are two common ways to replenish physical strength. One is to eat food, and the other is to rest in a place like a hotel.
The minced meat that Ye Bai obtained from killing bats before was considered food. She now has 10 of them in her backpack. However, eating one piece of minced meat raw can increase her physical strength by 5 points, but it will deduct 10 points of life. By the time her physical strength is full, her health will also be emptied.
Only minced meat can be cooked without losing blood, but there are no conditions for cooking food in the copy, so in Ye Bai's eyes it is just a useless thing that takes up space in the backpack.
Of course, Ye Bai also has "unconventional" methods to restore his physical strength.
【Do you want to spend 100 experience points to upgrade? 】
【yes】
A white light flashed in his vision, and Ye Bai reached level 1. His physical strength value also changed at the same time, from 38 back to 100.
She had been saving her experience and not upgrading before, not only to maintain the level difference to get the cross-level drop rate bonus, but also for this free recovery effect.
After the upgrade, Ye Bai's upper limit of health increased from 100 to 125, and all basic attributes were increased by 1 point. Now she can deal 10 points of damage with a wooden sword, which can improve her efficiency in fighting bats later.
Continuing forward, Ye Bai cleared all the fluorite and the remaining two waves of bats on the road, and finally reached the deepest part of the cave.
The terrain here has changed significantly, with a layer of green moss covering the stone walls, and the dungeon boss is inside the cave.
As he was about to face the BOSS, Ye Bai's body began to flash with white light and began to upgrade.
She had enough experience to reach level 9, but she stopped at level 5.
[Gain 1 talent point]
At the same time, a talent tree page that had not existed before appeared in Ye Bai's mind.
In "Wanjie", the player is the protagonist of the era and is a "divine-blooded person" with a great origin. In addition to being able to learn skills from the NPCs in this world, he also has a unique talent system.
In the setting, this is the path of gradually awakening bloodline and getting closer to the gods. These paths are different, allowing players to flexibly and freely construct combat methods. Many pre-requisites for career changes are to activate certain talents.
Talent points are very valuable. In addition to the 1 point you can get every 5 levels, you can only get extra points when you successfully change jobs or complete high-level tasks.
At this point in Ye Bai's talent tree, all other talents are hidden, and only the three most basic talents at the bottom can be activated:
[Flexibility], [Skillful Hands], [Identification]
The basic talents are all very practical abilities, and Ye Bai will have to choose all three in the future. However, she put her only talent point on [Flexibility] at this time.
The moment he activated his talent, Ye Bai really felt a surge of blood, and silhouettes of various figures moving around seemed to appear in his mind, and his body seemed to feel lighter.
Really good special effects!
With a sigh of admiration in his heart, Ye Bai scanned the newly lit talent effect:
【flexible】
Passive effect: Non-combat movement speed +5%
Unique active skill (roll): Roll to dodge with a maximum range of 4 meters, with a cooldown of 5 seconds and no consumption.
The evasive skill of rolling is a life-saving talisman for beginners and a show-off for masters. Players familiar with action games will understand it.
After rolling twice on the spot to get a feel for the situation, Ye Bai stepped into the cave, and suddenly the view before him opened up.
There was a wide circular cave with some spore plants growing around it and fluorescent creatures flying slowly. In the center of the terrain, a beam of sunlight fell from the gap at the top and sprinkled on a leafless white tree. The top of the branch was slightly drooping, and a round fruit the size of an apple was hanging on it, sparkling like a diamond. It was obviously a good thing at first glance.
Under the tree, there was a strange lizard-like beast lying there. It was over seven meters long and had a single horn on its head.
Without the [Identification] talent, Ye Bai could only see the red name [Angry Horned Beast] on the beast's head and the long health bar reading '???', but of course she knew the hidden number was 45,000.
Ye Bai held a shield in his left hand and a wooden sword in his right hand, and approached the angry-horned beast step by step.
When the distance reached eighteen meters, the angry-horned beast, which had been resting with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its slender golden pupils and stood up from the ground. In the standing position, its height was more than three meters, not counting the horn on its head.
Without hesitation, the angry-horned beast immediately charged towards the outsider who dared to approach its territory.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The ground shook slightly because of the running of the angry-horned beast. As a level 20 BOSS, its basic attack damage was 300. The health of level 5 Ye Bai was 225, which meant that she would die as long as she was hit by the angry-horned beast.
Therefore, the way to deal with this BOSS is... don't get hit!
【roll】
When the angry-horned beast was less than two meters away from Ye Bai, she curled up her body, almost into a ball, and then rolled to the side in an extremely standard posture, flexibly rolling a distance of 4 meters, just in time to make the angry-horned beast's charge fail.
If he didn't know how to 'roll', Ye Bai wouldn't have been able to dodge it with his current speed. The timing of using the skill is also very important. If used too early, the direction of the BOSS's charge will also be adjusted.
After rolling to avoid the attack, Ye Bai did not turn back to fight back, but continued to flee quickly forward.
“Swish!”
When Ye Bai had just rushed out more than four meters, a thick tail covered with gray scales swept past her back less than ten centimeters away, bringing up a small cloud of dust that blew on her back.
[Charge] and [Tail Sweep] are the two main skills of the Angry Horned Beast. One deals 450 damage, and the other deals 500 damage. They also come with stun and knock-up effects respectively. If Ye Bai fails to dodge either one, it will be enough to kill him twice.
This combo is the "greeting gift" that the Wrathhorn will inevitably use when it starts attacking. Players usually dodge the collision, but it is difficult to prevent the subsequent sweep. This damage is enough to take away half of the health of a normal level 20 player with 600 health points, even if he is wearing armor.
Regarding this, producer Ye Bo said: "As for the BOSS, it always has to be a bit impressive~"
After dodging the tail sweep, the angry-horned beast's skill cooldown began. Ye Bai turned around and quickly approached the side of the angry-horned beast.
'-30'
Because of the height difference, Ye Bai could only hit the angry-horned beast's thick legs when he swung his wooden sword.
Feeling the attack, the angry-horned beast roared, turned towards Ye Bai, and raised its front paws high towards her. This was not a skill, but its normal attack. However, the 300 damage was no different from its skill for Ye Bai's health.
'-30'
After striking the second blow, Ye Bai retreated directly.
"call!"
The angry-horned beast's claws swept through the air, but hit nothing.
In fact, after reaching level 5, Ye Bai's speed attribute improved and her attack speed increased a bit. If she used rolling to dodge, she could have hit one more time, but she didn't do that. Rolling also has a 5-second CD and must be used at the critical moment to dodge skills.
The biggest difference in consciousness between advanced players and ordinary players is that the former can stay calm and patient. When fighting a BOSS that can kill you with one blow, you must not be greedy.
'-30', '-30', '-30'...
Ye Bai's figure surrounded the tall angry-horned beast, sometimes moving forward and backward, sometimes rolling, and steadily outputting damage. The scene looked extremely dangerous, but he was always able to dodge it narrowly, and he managed to make the majestic nightmare BOSS stand there helpless and furious.
However, the blood volume of the angry horned beast determined that this was bound to be a long battle.
…
After dodging the skill with a roll, Ye Bai was distracted and glanced at the time during the brief period of safety.
Before she knew it, eleven hours had passed since she entered the game.
He mined and killed monsters all the way, and then fought the BOSS without any delay. If it were the keyboard era, his body would have been unable to bear such a high-intensity liver game. However, after entering "Wanjie", Ye Bai never had this feeling from beginning to end.
This is also the main reason why she directly chose the nightmare-level copy after turning off the free combat mode.
Challenging the nightmare copy with the initial equipment means that Ye Bai cannot make any mistakes and must stay focused throughout the process.
In the keyboard era, if you concentrate on operating for a long time, your hands will get tired, your shoulders and neck will get stiff, and you may even feel hungry or want to go to the bathroom. Under these negative conditions, even if you are fully aware of them, there is no guarantee that you will not make mistakes in your operations.
But holographic games are different. The real body is dormant, and the consciousness that does not feel tired replaces the keyboard, and the possibility of operational errors caused by external factors is reduced to a minimum.
In this way, Ye Bai can do something that was impossible in the keyboard era - use a blank board to solo the nightmare copy!
…
Another hour passed, after Ye Bai used his rolling skills to plow the land in this area and used his wooden sword to repair the angry-horned beast's feet thousands of times.
Finally, the health of the Raging Horned Beast reached 3%.
It suddenly stopped moving, stood still, and let out a long roar towards the sky.
The BOSS has entered a frenzy!
Ye Bai's heart trembled, and she immediately stopped attacking and retreated a distance. Seeing that the horn on the angry-horned beast's head began to glow, she raised the shield in her hand.
Before learning [Block], the shield and wooden sword have the same normal attacks, with only one defensive stance. After assuming this stance, the character cannot move, and it can reduce the damage of the character attribute X weapon attribute. Based on Ye Bai's attributes, it is 30 points. Although it is small, it is very critical to use it now.
"Ah~~~~"
Following a long cry, circles of red circular ripples spread out from the horn.
“Click, click, click…”
The ground shattered like a spider web with the angry-horned beast as the center.
When the first ripple touched Ye Bai, she suffered the first damage since entering this copy.
'-90'
[Roar Shockwave] is a full-range skill cast by the Ragehorn after it enters the near-death frenzy state. There are a total of 9 waves, each causing 120 points of shockwave damage.
Before Ye Bai learned psychic defense skills, he couldn't dodge this kind of non-physical damage even by rolling, and could only take it head-on.
The red ripples touched the cypress leaves for the second time.
'-90'
Ye Bai's defensive posture offset 30 damage each time, allowing her to withstand the second wave of damage, and her health finally reached 45.
Immediately afterwards, the third ripple arrived as expected.
At the critical moment when Ye Bai was about to be touched by the red light, a white light flashed on her body.
Ye Bai has upgraded!
The health value instantly changed from 45/225 to 250/250, and the upper limit was increased when it was fully restored.
Moreover, the third wave caused no damage.
This is a hidden detail setting for character upgrades. During the 0.5 seconds when the white light of upgrade appears, the character is in an invincible state.
Ye Bai had saved his experience and didn't upgrade it just to use it at this critical moment. By using this micro-manipulation, he could not only recover health, but more importantly, he could withstand a short-term triggered damage, such as the current [Roar Shock].
The rest is easy.
When Ye Bai reached level 8, the Raging Horned Beast's final ultimate move ended, and it entered a weakened state with reduced damage and slower speed. With full health, she stepped forward and completed the harvest of the last bit of health of the BOSS.
"Bang!"
The huge body of the angry-horned beast fell down, and its body became ethereal and disappeared, and at the same time a large mass of objects exploded.
Among all these glittering trophies, a touch of gold stood out...
