Capítulo 3: A strange person, in a strange world.
The white and gold light in the hall gradually turned into a human figure. Finally, it became more and more solid, and the light became weaker and weaker. The moment before the light completely disappeared, a naked man appeared in the center of the hall, and then the building buried deep under the mountain returned to darkness.
Although it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see his fingers in front of him, there was still an image in front of Liang Lidong. In the middle of his sight, there was a bright cursor that prompted, "Character has been created, please choose the character specialization."
Liang Lidong was a human, so he could choose two human specializations as soon as he came out. Ordinary professions came with one professional specialization, but nobles had a special talent, Noble Knowledge, which gave them an additional non-combat specialization randomly. Then, they could choose another specialization based on their bloodline, for a total of five specializations.
Ordinary professions were born with only two human racial specializations and one professional specialization, so from the beginning, the noble profession had more rich gameplay than other professions. However, there was always a loss. The attribute growth of nobles was forced to be 7, while other professions could choose to strengthen their strengths. For example, the Warrior profession would generally increase the growth of physique to the maximum of 10 points.
The game Falan Continent was born out of the dnd system, and its character interface was not much different from the dnd system. As soon as the human race came out, all the attributes were very average. The five basic attributes of physique, coordination, intelligence, will, and charm were all 5 points, and then the system would give another 10 potential points for the players to distribute and create their own unique characters.
At first glance, players could mainly increase two attributes to 10 points. For example, Warriors could increase physique and coordination to 10 points. Many players would think of this when they first came into contact with the game, but in reality, it was not possible. The attribute growth of the game Falan Continent was very important. It determined the future growth path of a character. Sometimes, a higher attribute point would make a big difference in strength in the later stages.
Therefore, the attributes of the game had the concept of potential weakening. When a single Attribute was raised from 5 to 7, each point of Attribute Growth would only consume one Potential Value. However, when it was raised from 7 to 9, each point of Attribute Growth would consume two Potential Value, and when it was raised from 9 to 10, it would require three Attribute Points.
Therefore, if a human warrior wanted to max out his strength, he would need to spend 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3, a total of 9 potential value points, leaving only 1 potential value point to be added to other attributes. Although adding points like this was a bit of a waste of Potential Growth Value, it was worth it. After all, every class's main Attribute was very important to the growth of their class's strength.
This method of adding points to a main attribute of 10 and a secondary attribute of 6 was the mainstream attribute configuration in the game. It was also known as the 'Pomegranate' (10, 6) addition method. There were also many special ways to add points, such as 9, 7, 6, and so on, but they were all niche additions. However, no matter how the character's attributes were configured, there were many classes to choose from. For example, the Warrior sub-class, Great Swordsman, required Coordination to be greater than 7, Strength to be greater than 8, and Will to be greater than 6. Usually, classes that required two basic attributes were special classes. With this attribute, he could also choose Scout, Longbow, Mercenary, and other professions! There was a wide variety of classes in the game.
There were more than 130 known classes in Continent of Falan, but according to the official data, there were 250 classes in the game … Seeing this number, the players all felt the deep malice from the game's officials.
The Divine Nobles were a special class among the special classes. Generally speaking, special classes had two or three attribute growth requirements, and they had to complete certain quests or trigger certain plots in the game before they could be changed. The Divine Nobles, on the other hand, could be chosen when the character was created. When all the basic attributes were set to 7, it would be activated. You didn't have to complete any special quests, and you could easily become a special class.
Of course, there were pros and cons. All the attributes of the nobles had to be 7, which meant that they couldn't be higher or lower than 7. Also, after becoming a Divine Noble, if you completed an epic quest one day and received a bottle of dragon blood or divine blood, which could increase your attribute growth, don't be too excited … Items or equipment that could increase the character's attribute growth were useful for other classes, except for the Divine Nobles. It would be a waste if you took them!
After all, not everyone could complete an Epic Quest. It was a privilege that belonged to one in ten thousand powerhouses. However, because the attributes of the Divine Nobles were too balanced … or rather mediocre, the combat ability of the Divine Nobles in the early stage was very weak. They couldn't compete with melee classes such as Warriors and Rogues in a head-on battle. Although their remote spells were powerful, they couldn't specifically learn magic. As half a Warlock, the Divine Nobles had few magic awakened in their bloodline. They only had eight magic spells at max level. As time went by, everybody in the game knew how many magic spells the Divine Nobles had, and it was easy to deal with them as long as they were prepared.
Although the Warlocks didn't awaken many bloodlines, they had at least more than twenty, which greatly increased their fighting ability. Also, the Warlocks could choose from many bloodlines, such as gold dragon, silver dragon, red dragon, archangel, demon, primeval giant … Warlocks with different bloodlines had different ways of fighting. Besides, even the Warlocks of the same bloodline might not have the same fighting style, so it was very difficult to deal with the Warlocks specifically. More importantly, as real Warlocks, their spells were much more powerful than those of the Divine Nobles. Other classes of the same level, except for the Magic Breakers, could either be killed or crippled after being hit by a random spell. The Divine Nobles were far more powerful than the Divine Nobles.
However, the Divine Nobles weren't completely useless. Their balanced attributes and natural multiple specializations gave the Divine Nobles a variety of fighting styles. As long as the melee Warlocks cooperated well with their magic and rich combat experience, they could easily kill low-level players and NPCs who didn't have strong battle awareness. However, if they encountered opponents who had similar battle awareness as themselves, they would try to retreat. After all, it wasn't difficult for them to protect themselves with natural multiple specializations.
However, few players were born with battle instincts. The players who chose to be Divine Nobles were ruthlessly destroyed by the reality after the novelty of the game wore off! The virtual game Falan Continent was unimaginably real. The NPCs were divided into different forces. They could cry, laugh, and think. Some of them were kind, some were evil, some were stupid, and some were ridiculously smart. The players who had chosen the Divine Nobles had not only died at the hands of other players but also at the hands of NPCs!
If they were killed by other players, they would only lose ten percent of their total experience, which was acceptable! If they were killed by NPCs, it would be a big joke. Not only would they lose the same amount of experience, but the NPCs could also loot all the money and equipment of the dead. Then, the dead Divine Nobles would be reborn in the nearest Temple of the Life Goddess with nothing but a blanket on them!
Compared to other classes, the Divine Nobles were more likely to die in battles. As a result, not only did they lose experience, but they also lost equipment and money, which seriously slowed down the growth of the Divine Nobles … When the average level of all the players in the server reached level seven, the average level of the Divine Nobles was only four!
It seemed that the gap of only three levels wasn't big, but in reality, the gap was huge. It was very difficult to gain experience in the "Continent of Falan", and the character's growth was staggered. The experience required for the next character level was always twice that of the previous one. Two months after the game was launched, ninety percent of the Divine Nobles had deleted their accounts and restarted, and only ten percent persisted.
Among the ten percent of Divine Nobles, there were some who succeeded and some who failed. Liang Lidong was one of the more successful Divine Nobles. Before he died, the game had been launched for eight years. The average level of all the players in the server was level 14, and the highest level was level 19. He himself was level 18 and belonged to the first echelon of the server.
Because of his confidence in his class, Liang Lidong chose this relatively weak class in the early stages. After all, all the players later realized that although the Divine Nobles were weak in combat, they were not a weak class. After the character reached level five and all the classes unlocked the first class specialization, the strength of the Divine Nobles would gradually show.
After staring at the system notification for a while, he chose to confirm. The system prompted him to choose two human race specializations. Without hesitation, Liang Lidong chose Sword Mastery and Agile Movement. There were thousands of specializations in Faran Continent, but most of them had basic attribute growth requirements or level requirements. However, at the beginning of the character creation, many race specializations could be learned without any requirements. Of course, a small number of specializations still had attribute requirements.
For example, "Sword-type Weapon Mastery", this skill had no other requirements apart from a Human race requirement. Even Magic Professions could learn it. Its special effect was: When using sword-type weapons, Slash Speed + 2, Sword Toughness + 5, Sharpness + 1.
The + 2 Slash Speed wasn't a great feature. After all, Liang Lidong's character had seven points of Strength growth. Even if he used a one-handed sword of normal weight at level zero, his slash speed would still be more than 14. Although slash speed was directly related to damage, the + 2 Slash Speed really wasn't very useful. Besides, in the later stages, as the player leveled up, their Strength would increase. Together with the talent of Noble Swordsmanship, the Divine Nobles' slash speed could easily exceed 30. The + 2 Slash Speed was useful, but it wasn't very useful. The + 1 Sharpness was slightly better than nothing. Ordinary iron swords had 6 Sharpness, and God Weapons could have more than 12 Sharpness, so the + 1 Sharpness was not very useful.
The most useful special effect was the + 5 Tenacity of Swords. Because the World of Felan was very realistic, the weapons in it could be damaged, and many professions had skills to destroy weapons. If the Tenacity was not high, the weapon in the hand would be easily destroyed. A Warrior without a weapon was like a tiger without teeth. The + 5 Toughness was a very practical number. Even an ordinary two-handed heavy sword had a Toughness between 9 and 10. Two-handed weapons were heavy and very durable. The Toughness of an ordinary one-handed iron sword was about 4. If one had Sword Mastery, it could directly rise to 9. An ordinary iron sword was as durable as a two-handed sword. The biggest disadvantage of a one-handed sword was not its lack of lethality, but that it was too easily damaged in battle. This specialty could perfectly make up for this shortcoming.
As for Nimble Movement, it was also a very good talent. The Divine Nobles were a mediocre profession. Although they were much stronger than Mages in terms of vitality and defense, there was still a gap between them and professional melee fighters such as Warriors. Moreover, Faran Continent was a virtual MMORPG. It was very real, not the kind of game where you hit me and I hit you back. In this game, as long as you were fast enough, you could dodge most skills and ranged attacks. Most importantly, if you were fast enough, you could grasp the rhythm of the battle. If you could win, you could fight; if you couldn't, you could run. What could you do?
Nimble Movement: Your basic movement speed + 3, mobility + 3.
Movement speed was the most difficult attribute to improve. It was mainly determined by coordination, and mobility was the ability to turn and move horizontally. To put it bluntly, it was the ability to dodge left and right, and the ability to retreat and accelerate.
When a human's specialty was chosen, it was a profession specialty. The Divine Nobles were born with one more specialty, although it was a random non-combat specialty.
About ten seconds later, the column that had been rolling all this time came to a stop. It read: Magic Scroll Creation!
Liang Lidong nodded. It was a very useful non-combat specialty. Any profession that could cast spells could make magic scrolls, but with this specialty, the success rate of making magic scrolls would be higher. Also, because the Divine Nobles had awakened few spells, they usually carried multiple magic scrolls with them to increase the variety of their spells. Sometimes, an extra magic scroll might be the key to victory.
Next, it was time to choose a profession specialty. Looking at the dozen or so specialties, Liang Lidong thought for a moment and chose Lucky Fortune.
Lucky Fortune: As a Divine Noble, you've always been dismissive of money. Even if you don't make money, a lot of money will be delivered to you automatically. The effect will increase as you level up!
This was a specialty that was unique to the Divine Nobles. Only the Divine Nobles could choose this specialty when they created their character. Once they missed it, they would never have another chance. When Liang Lidong was still playing the game, he had chosen other specialties, and he had always regretted it.
Finally, it was the bloodline specialties. This was the first time that Liang Lidong had seen the Cloud Dragon bloodline. He had never heard of it from other players, either. He browsed through the specialties of the Cloud Dragon bloodline for a while and found that the Cloud Dragon bloodline had very few specialties. There were only three, which were the same as its bloodline magic, but they were all quite practical specialties.
Cloud Dragon Blue Eye: You have True Vision. Your effective vision range is increased by 600, and your clear vision range is increased by 200. You can see in extreme darkness and won't be fooled by illusions.
Cloud Dragon Will: You will awaken the bloodline spells Lightning and Thunder.
Cloud Dragon Body: Cloud Dragon scales will grow on certain parts of your body. Your life and defense will both be greatly improved. Your lifespan will also be increased by 300 years.
Reading this, Liang Lidong roughly knew what the Cloud Dragon was. These three specialties were all quite practical, especially the Cloud Dragon Will and the two bloodline spells. Under normal circumstances, Liang Lidong would naturally choose the Cloud Dragon Will, but in the current situation … He looked around. There was no light at all, and he couldn't even see the palm in front of him.
Bloodline Specialties Choice: Cloud Dragon Blue Eye!
The darkness in front of him gradually faded, and Liang Lidong could now see his surroundings. Also, the Cloud Dragon Blue Eye was more useful than he had imagined. Generally speaking, when seeing things in the dark, a green field of vision would appear, and then the appearance of the objects in front of them would be very blurry. Liang Lidong had used the magic scroll of Night Vision many times before, so he was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this spell: he could see things in the dark, but he couldn't distinguish well, and his vision was not far.
But this Cloud Dragon Blue Eye was different. Not only could Liang Lidong see everything in the hall clearly, but it was also colorful, no different from seeing things under the sun. Most importantly, his vision was now very good, a little too good! The hall was very large, and the wall of the largest hall could be seen from the middle, about 50 meters away. At such a distance, he could see a tree root the size of a hair on the right wall!
This hall had been empty for a long time, and it was buried deep under the mountain. The air was filled with a slightly fishy musty smell, and although it wasn't pungent, it wasn't too bad! Liang Lidong looked at the main hall of the hall. He remembered that there used to be a powerful mass of light there, but now he couldn't see the mass of light, only a statue of a goddess at least 10 meters tall!
The statue of the goddess was covered in armor and had a good figure, but her face was blurred! Because of the age, the exterior paint of the statue of the goddess had all fallen off, revealing the gray rock structure underneath. Liang Lidong stared at the statue for a long time, and then he walked away.
The darkness could no longer stop Liang Lidong, and he couldn't wait to leave this quiet place. He walked slowly and came to the west side room of the hall, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in this empty and ethereal world. During the last period of time in the soul state, his perception could only cover this hall, and because he always stared at it, he knew this hall very well. If he remembered correctly, there should be intact clothes here.
Soon, he found a set of clothes in the wooden cabinet of the west side room. The moment he took out the clothes, the wooden cabinet turned into dust, and the smell of rotten wood filled his nose. Liang Lidong opened the red clothes and found that there was a faint blue luster flowing on the clothes.
It turned out to be a magic item, no wonder it was still intact after so long.
'Woking Disciple Robe'
Type: Cloth
Defense: 1
Enchantment: In the natural state, mana recovery effect increased by 5%.
'Woking Disciple Cloak'
Type: Cloth
Defense: 1
Enchantment: In the natural state, mana recovery effect increased by 5%.
'Woking Disciple Cloth Shoes'
Type: Cloth
Defense: 1
Enchantment: Low-level Agility, reduces the wearer's weight by five kilograms.
There was information about the item. Was this a game world, or the real world?
The robe fit him just right, but the shoes were a bit too big. But Liang Lidong didn't mind. In this situation, it was already very lucky to have clothes to wear, and it was a magic item at that. After putting on the clothes, Liang Lidong felt a little hungry. This hall was buried under the mountain, and if he wanted to go out, he had to dig an exit. He knew which hall was closer to the surface, but before that, he had to find a digging tool.
Liang Lidong searched the hall four or five times, but he couldn't find anything that could be used as a digging tool. At first, he found a small shovel, but because it was not a magic item, it turned into a pile of iron when he touched it. In desperation, Liang Lidong returned to the main hall of the hall and moved his vision to the goddess statue. After a while, he jumped up and kicked off the right index finger of the goddess statue.
The finger was almost as thick as his arm. Then, he used the goddess statue's thigh to sharpen the finger. Finally, he came to the north wall of the hall. Half of the wall here had collapsed, and a lot of the mountain's mud and stones "squeezed" in. This was the place closest to the surface. Liang Lidong frowned and began to dig.
It was not an easy task to dig a hole with just one stone spike, even if the hole was less than five meters from the ground. Liang Lidong kept digging. As his stamina decreased, he became hungrier and hungrier, but he could only endure it. When he was tired, he would take a nap. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he was almost in a trance, he finally dug a hole in the ground. Fresh air, with the fragrance of plants, rushed in. He forced the hole open and climbed out.
Because he was wearing magic items, his clothes were not stained at all, but his hands were full of mud. Liang Lidong looked around. He was in a forest. Sunlight shone down from the gaps between the trees. The sunlight fell on his forehead. It was scorching, but the forest was cool.
It was noon. It should be summer. Liang Lidong was thinking about how to get out of here. At this time, he heard a rustling sound from the grass. After a while, he saw a gray rabbit poking its head out of the grass. When it saw Liang Lidong, it immediately shrank back.
Food!
Liang Lidong's eyes glowed with a green light as he activated the Mist Rider skill … Because he had just finished creating his character, he did not have a level. According to the skill's data, the thick fog only covered a radius of 100 meters around him, but that was enough. Liang Lidong gripped the stone spear in his hand tightly. In the thick fog, he triggered the effects of Silent Movement, Movement Acceleration, and Directional Perception. Moreover, the rabbit was an ordinary creature to begin with. Enveloped by the thick fog, its hearing, vision, and movement abilities were all reduced.
Liang Lidong walked to the side of the rabbit and easily stabbed the poor creature to death. He then raised it up high and let its blood pour into his mouth.
After drinking all of the little thing's blood, Liang Lidong felt that his hunger had subsided a lot. At this time, he heard the sound of a goat in the distance. There was also a clear girl's voice.
There was someone! Liang Lidong used the Fog Riding skill and walked toward the sound with the fog. In this unknown world, safety was the most important factor. In the thick fog, he could hide his figure, and then he could investigate the situation outside without any worries.
On the hillside, the grassland is like a thicket, seven mountain goats are grazing on the grass, a girl wearing tattered clothes, sitting on the grass next to her, happily singing mountain songs. And on the upper edge of the forest above, there is a misty area where Liang Lidong is standing, watching the girl below.
