Chapitre 18: 018 New Template of Doggy Three
[You have successfully defeated the[Cold Skeleton Archer]and gained 35 experience points. Your level has increased to Level 4, your spiritual power has increased by 0.5, and your mana limit has increased to 36!]
[Your wraith servant[Doggy Two]'s level has increased to Level 5, its strength has increased to 3.2, agility has increased to 4, and physique has increased to 1!]
...
In the Skeleton Cave, Dean McKenzie glanced at the fresh system notification in front of him, his gaze quickly returned to the skeleton archer.
He didn't even bother to pick up the light points on the ground and went straight to the skeleton archer for an extraction. He had just leveled up, his mana was replenished.
[You have successfully used[Extraction]on [Cold Skeleton Archer], you have extracted 0.5 agility, 0.5 attack. You have obtained[Elite Template Fragments]]
Another Elite Template Fragment in hand, only one more left to assemble the Elite Template.
"Looking at this, it doesn't seem too difficult to upgrade Doggy Two's template to Elite!"
Hope was in sight and Dean McKenzie couldn't help but laugh happily.
Of course, even as he laughed, Dean McKenzie didn't forget to pick up the two light points on the ground.
[You've opened a light point to acquire a[Fragile Skeletal Archer Template], and two Silver Coins!]
Hearing the system prompt, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
"Did it drop a template?"
That templates could drop was not a surprise to Dean McKenzie.
He had spent the past week in the library, cramming up on some common knowledge for professional players.
It included this thing on templates.
He learnt that in the professional's world, templates are barriers that naturally divide professionals into various ranks.
The lowest are those like Dean McKenzie with the Ordinary Templates, who are at the bottom of the professional hierarchy.
Such professionals only get 0.5 attribute points per level, and it is said that there are various inconveniences in job transfers later on.
Above that are the Elites with Elite Templates. They are much stronger than ordinary templates with one attribute point per level, which is twice as much.
Then comes the Excellent Templates. These professionals gain 1.5 attribute points per level and seem to have other advantages.
What specifically those advantages are, the books Dean McKenzie had access to didn't clearly state.
Dean McKenzie only knew that Professionals with Excellent Templates were already considered to have one foot at the threshold of 'nobility' among professionals.
Ennis Hawkins had mentioned more than once that it would be great if Dean McKenzie's template was an Excellent Template.
Of course, regarding the fact that his template is just an Ordinary, Dean McKenzie didn't take it too seriously.
After all, he had a talent. Despite having fewer attribute points, he could make up for it later on. Just like Doggy Two right now, his template is ordinary but his attributes are of elite quality.
So, he did not care about not having a better template or being in a rush.
But when understanding what templates were, one thing upset Dean McKenzie initially.
That was when he learned during those few days that drops could include templates and others could also upgrade theirs.
When he first found out templates could drop and others could also upgrade theirs, how did you think Dean McKenzie's mood was? It was anything but beautiful!
His feelings were similar to a friend of his before he crossed over who was flirting with a goddess and just when he thought he was about to succeed, he found out that the goddess had other flirtatious targets. You can imagine his feelings.
Later, as Dean McKenzie learned more, his mood gradually improved.
Because he, oh no, his friend found out that the man was simply a lick-dog of the goddess, not another flirtatious target.
Yes, templates can be dropped by others.
But firstly, the drop rate is extremely low. An Elite Template's BOSS is pushed ten thousand times at most to drop once.
Secondly, the dropped template would be bottom-tier.
Only elite quality bosses can drop ordinary templates.
Meaning, to upgrade to an elite quality template,
Others need to kill tens of thousands of excellent template's bosses for a chance of dropping one elite, while Dean McKenzie only needs to take down three elites.
And templates can't be used as soon as they drop. There are strict requirements.
Many templates that drop can only have a look at.
Just like the template that Dean McKenzie just got.
...
Name: Fragile Skeletal Archer Template
Quality: Ordinary
Requirements to Use: Pale Skeleton, Agility reached 2
...
The current template in front of him, if it wasn't obtained by Dean McKenzie, would be practically worthless in anyone else's hands.
This is the type mostly obtained by ordinary professionals.
Too good to discard, yet useless to keep.
But the same template, when in the hands of Dean McKenzie, was a different story.
After all, he could precisely summon skeletons.
Besides, the icy cold skeleton archer's arrow just now had amazed Dean McKenzie quite a bit.
"If I could train such an archer, it seems pretty good too!"
Although Dean McKenzie was most eager to have a defense-oriented Skeleton Servant to ensure immediate safety, in the absence of such a servant, he didn't mind having a ranged one.
[You have summoned a Wraith Servant!]
[You have launched the Enhancement of the Wraith Servant, you have spent 800 Copper Coins to increase the agility of Doggy Three to 2 points!]
[You have used the Fragile Skeleton Archer Template successfully, your Wraith Servant template has been converted into a Fragile Skeleton Archer!]
In less than half an hour, Dean McKenzie summoned the fourth generation of Doggy Three and successfully turned Doggy Three into an archer.
...
Name: Fragile Skeleton Archer (Doggy Three)
Level: Level 4
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 1+1
Defense: 0.45
Companion Weapon: Fragile Skeletal Bone Bow (Attack Power +1, automatically generates a bone arrow every minute, can accumulate up to 10)
...
Dean McKenzie took a brief look, it seemed that the attribute points of Archer-doggy Three were mainly in agility.
1 point of agility constitutes 0.5 attack power.
Although Dean McKenzie didn't understand the inner workings of this, it didn't hinder him from piling agility points on Doggy Three next.
"First, let's upgrade Doggy Three. After that, let's see if we can kill another Elite Monster and synthesize the Elite Template!"
Following this, Dean McKenzie concentrated on adapting to Doggy Three's new form and training the new generation of Doggy Three.
Surprisingly, the Archer form of Doggy Three was slightly more difficult to command than the Pale Skeleton.
It took Dean McKenzie more than ten minutes to become proficient in controlling Doggy Three.
It took an over another half-hour for Dean McKenzie to attack simultaneously and accurately with Doggy Three.
Afterward, the skeletons entering this passage were essentially destined to be killed instantly.
The moment they appeared, they were met with Bone Fang and Bone Arrow.
Ordinary skeletons simply couldn't handle it and were wiped out in one wave.
Dean McKenzie stayed in this passage overnight, and his level experience points reached [150/250].
Doggy Three's attributes were again enhanced by Dean McKenzie to the limit.
...
Name: Fragile Skeleton Archer (Doggy Three)
Level: Level 4 (53%)
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 6.2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 3.1+1
Defense: 0.45
Companion Weapon: Fragile Skeletal Bone Bow
...
Looking at Doggy Three's attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn't help but look in the direction of the skeleton group. A bold idea was brewing in his heart, but before this idea had fully formed,
With a "boom", it seemed as if a sudden explosion occurred in the direction of the skeleton group!
