Chapter 116 Unexpected joy
Chapter 116: Unexpected joy
It has been more than ten days since the auction that day, and my power still shows no sign of recovery. Even the "Whirlwind Pill" has no effect. Instead, it has caused me to lose several in vain. This situation completely disappointed me. So I just refine pills or build equipment every day, but after missing the "fire mana" and the other three powers, my blacksmith's skills "transformation" has no effect at all. After all, relying on simple inlay methods, it is impossible to transform that kind of top-quality equipment.
To be honest, now I am more like a professional player, simply focusing on making money. Although I used to take money as a priority, in fact, I was taking risks many times, just like I first entered the "Thirty-Six Small Cave Heaven", just relying on the passion of the players.
This was even more so when I looked for "Kunlun Mountain". Even though I knew that even the worst monsters in "Kunlun Mountain" had the level of monsters, I still wanted to find "Red Dragon" and then get news about other parts of Chi You's body. But at that time, I simply forgot the great dangers inside.
This is simply a risky behavior. If it were in the past, as a professional player, I would never take such a great risk to look for "Kunlun Mountain". After all, I aim to make money, and how to earn the greatest benefit is what I want. Unnecessary but extremely dangerous behavior is not something that only a professional professional player would do.
The reason is that the game "Xiong Dominate the World" is too well done. The game concept of directing one's own actions with spiritual thinking completely subverts the traditional game modes in the past. While attracting countless other players, it also attracted me, making me unconsciously penetrate it, and unconsciously neglected the relevant principles of a professional player. It can be said that I am not a professional player of full significance at all.
However, after experiencing such a disaster, I lost four kinds of strength and my strength has dropped greatly. In this way, I have lost the ability to rely on my strength to fight monsters and obtain top-quality equipment. It is because of this that I can concentrate on refining pills. In just one month, I have refined a large number of top-quality pills and obtained a lot of profits. Although this benefit is a bit worse than that of fighting monsters and obtaining equipment, it is already very good for professional players.
Back to "Longhuxuan", I took out the "Tianshi Pill Recipe" and looked at the last drug called "Wushi San". The medicinal materials needed for refining are all very long-lasting, but the effect is absolutely excellent: petrified skin that is maintained for 30 minutes (a new skin similar to keratinization is formed on the surface of the skin), permanent strength 5. permanent strength 5. permanent strength 5. Not to mention it, the attribute of the "perified skin that is maintained for 30 minutes" is very wonderful. The keratinized skin is like a copper wall for ordinary weapons, and even ordinary gold-level weapons are difficult to break into. Therefore, it is indeed very good in defense.
But this kind of medicine is very simple in any aspect. I have refined it several times in a row but failed. Even the remaining medicine residue is the useless coke, which makes me very puzzled. I studied the "Tianshi Dan Recipe" in detail several times, but still found no reason for the failure.
While I was irritated, I threw out the "Tianshi Pill Recipe" in my hand, but I didn't know that I was throwing it into the water tank where the spring water was placed. This water tank was specially prepared for the refining of medicine. Its function was a bit like the "leak pot" on me. Although it was only the size of an ordinary bucket, it could contain spring water with a capacity of more than 100 times. Moreover, the spring water placed inside was always in a flowing state without causing a stagnant water situation, which was very helpful for alchemy.
When Zhang San told me the news, I was ecstatic and rushed to the "auction house" to participate in the auction. However, I didn't find any opponents at all during the auction. I knew that no one except me was interested in this thing. Therefore, it was a lucky thing to get it for 50,000 gold coins.
Let's get back to the topic.
When I saw the "Tianshi Pill Recipe" dropping into the "flowing water", I was shocked. You must know that once it sinks into the "flowing water", you need to pour out all the springs in the "flowing water" to get the "Tianshi Pill Recipe". Of course, this seems extremely unwise, and even if it can be taken out, it is a bad book.
Therefore, I flew to the "flowing water" at the fastest speed, and grabbed it when the "Tianshi Dan Recipe" only sank into the water for one or two inches. However, the fast speed was difficult to stop, which made me hit the wall hard, and my whole body was sore, and I missed my internal force in my heart. If I had encountered this situation before, I could stop by relying on the operation of my internal force, although this would be a little sad.
Although I have obtained the "Tianshi Pill Recipe", I feel crying and crying when I look at the book that has fallen apart. Although I have refined all the dozen or so elixirs on it several times, because I have lost internal strength and "fire-type magic power" recently, if I want to refine the elixirs on it, I always need help from others. "Fire-type magic power" is simple. I have the "Zhurong Battle Soul" in my hand, and I just need to set up a formation, but the internal strength is only what the players have. For this reason, I have the two good friends "Quick Sword One Sword" and "Ba Jian" become my two "tools" for refining elixirs, and take turns to input internal strength for my "Yanhuang Ding".
Of course, I didn't let them work in vain. I would give 5% of each furnace of elixir as their reward. Even the "Quick Sword" that rarely relies on elixirs to fight before was inexplicably happy. However, I think that being able to have the elixirs refined with my own help is what makes him really happy.
Forget it, I have already recorded all the steps clearly anyway, and there are also records in my "Player Log". Even if I lose this "Tianshi Dan Recipe", it is no big deal. Just as I was about to throw away the bad book in my hand, I found that a metallic color was revealed on one corner of the cover, which surprised me.
I quickly wiped off the rotten cover on it, and what appeared in front of me was a thin piece of gold foil that was almost as soft as silk, which made me ecstatic. Of course, the gold foil itself could not attract me, but the full page of text on it brought me into a brand new world - Wuqin Opera.
"Five Animal Play", yes, is "Five Animal Play". According to ancient legend, "Five Animal Play" was a kind of health preservation created by Hua Tuo, a famous medical expert in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in his later years. It can practice both inside and outside and have both body and function. The Five Animals refer to the five animals, tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds.
This "Five Animal Play" lists two ways of practicing: one is to imitate the movements of five animals, think about their activities with your mind, and naturally lead to the movements. As long as there is a combination of the order of the movements before and after, the order of the movements can be different for each exercise, and it is called "Little Five Animals"; the other is to learn the entire set of movements and then perform them in a coherent manner, which is called "Big Five Animals".
Bear shape: bend the right knee, shakes the left shoulder forward and downward, and the arm will sink as well; the right shoulder will slightly stretch backward, and lifts the right arm slightly upward. The left knee will bend, and the right shoulder will shake forward and downward, and the arm will also sink as well; the left shoulder will slightly stretch backward, and lifts the left arm slightly upward. This repeatedly shakes, and the number of times is not limited. When practicing bear play, you should be light and agile in calmness and show its toughness. This action has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, aiding digestion, and revitalizing joints.
Tiger shape. The first left movement: stand naturally, step to the left foot, draw an arc to the upper left, and draw an arc to the upper left on the forehead, in the shape of a tiger claw, with the palm facing down, one punch away from the forehead, the left hand crosses the waist, the palm facing up, one punch away from the waist, the body twists to the left, look at the right heel, and look up at the same time, which looks like looking for food. The second right movement: the opposite direction and the same movement. When practicing tiger play, you should show a mighty and brave expression. This movement acts on Hua Tuo's back acupoint and Du meridian, and is used for sciatica, low back pain, spondylitis and hypertension.
Deer shape. The first left movement: stand naturally, kick out the left leg, lean forward, fist the upper body, fist the soles of the feet away from the ground, and bend the right leg to form a scissor step; extend the right arm forward, bend the wrist, the hand is in the shape of a deer hoof, and the fingertips are sagging flat with the head; the left arm is behind, fist from the waist, fingertips are upward, and the eyes are strider. The second right movement: opposite directions and the movements are the same. When practicing deer opera, it should reflect its quiet and peaceful state. This action can strengthen the waist and kidneys, activate blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, and exercise leg strength.
Ape-shaped. The first left movement: stand naturally, step out with your left leg, lift your heel, point your toes, and lift your right leg slightly; the left arm is close to the bottom of your breasts, and your fingertips droop into a claw-shaped shape; the right arm is bent and raised, and the right hand is wrapped around the forehead from the back of your right head, the middle finger of your thumb is closed, and the eyes are moving. The second right movement: the opposite direction and the same movement. When practicing ape, you should imitate the agility and flexibility of your ape. This action helps enhance cardiopulmonary function and strengthen the kidney and waist.
Bird shape. The first left movement: stand parallel to each other, the arms sag naturally, the left foot moves forward, and the feet follow up and the right toe point to the ground; at the same time, the arms slowly lift from the front of the body, the palms are facing up, and the arms are raised to the left and right sides, and then inhale deeply; the legs are in conjunction with each other, the arms fall from the side, the palms are facing down, and squat at the same time, the arms intersect under the knees, the palms are facing up, and then exhale deeply. The second right movement: the direction is opposite and the movements are the same. When practicing bird play, you must show the momentum of spreading your wings and soaring the clouds before you can integrate the body and spirit; this play is also called the crane play, which imitates the image of a crane, with light and relaxing movements, which can adjust the qi and blood, clear the meridians, and activate muscles, bones and joints.
"Five Animals Play" says that as long as you can practice "Little Five Animals", you will be healthy and will not invade all diseases; if you practice "Big Five Animals", you can restore all the strangeness of your body and keep your body in a peak state at all times.
Seeing this, the excitement in my heart was beyond words. I, who had already been comfortable in elixir and pharmaceuticals, was replenished with a desire for game life. Only then did I realize how passionate I was for this game, rather than just using it as a tool to make money like before.
In the following days, in addition to refining necessary pills every day, I practiced the "Five Animal Play" at the specific meridian period, because the above said that only these two moments can better absorb the essence of heaven and earth and enhance my body. Of course, I can only do this, although sometimes I have to get out of bed in the middle of the night and enter the game to practice this subject.
Of course, this period lasted only ten days, which is one month in the game. I formally learned the "Little Five Animals" and was able to learn the five shapes of "tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird". Now I only have to connect these scattered movements. At this time, I didn't have to deliberately aim at the two time of the Wu period, because after "Little Five Animals", I have already completed the basic part and don't have to work so hard.
After another three months of game time, I finally practiced the "Big Five Animals". Not only can I connect the five shapes of "tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird" themselves, but also cooperate with each other. I also found that the attack power of this "Five Animals Play" is definitely not comparable to ordinary boxing skills, at least it is much more intelligent than my previous advanced skill "Seven Star Mantis Boxing". Maybe I can rely on this to fight monsters in the future.
In the past four months, many changes have taken place in "The World of Domination", first of all, the game has been upgraded again.
This time the system upgrade changed a lot of game settings and eliminated many things that were too different from the real world. For example, the problem of equipment dropping. In the past, although the probability of equipment dropping was a little lower, the drop of this equipment itself was hugely absurd. Can you imagine a wild boar that could not use weapons and equipment suddenly dropped a helmet after being killed?
However, in previous games, even in the previous "Battle of the World", this way of dropping equipment had to exist. Because the game itself requires equipment, if there is no equipment, how can players fight monsters, and how can they upgrade to experience the fun of adventure? Therefore, this method has always been despised by everyone, but it has to be used.
Now, the number of blacksmiths in the game, especially high-level blacksmiths, is increasing significantly every day, and "blacksmith shops" are spread all over every city. In this way, players' equipment problems can be solved through "blacksmith shops", either customized, or directly purchased finished products. Even if the equipment provided by blacksmiths cannot meet all players, players can still buy equipment in the system blacksmith shop.
However, the equipment in the blacksmith shops in these systems is good, but the price is generally much higher than the equipment produced by the players themselves. This makes players more inclined to buy from the blacksmith.
Of course, in order to make up for the equipment losses caused by the inability to drop equipment, the system settings have added the method of dropping specific materials. For example, if you kill a golden armored soldier, the player can find the metal ore that constitutes the golden armored soldier or directly obtain metal blocks; if you kill a "dashed tiger", you can find a stone called "raw stone" collected by the "dashed tiger" nearby. If this stone is steamed in soup, the taste will be even more delicious.
In short, monster death will not drop equipment now, players can only find relevant collections or materials on their bodies. In other words, the equipment level of players now depends entirely on the professional skills of the blacksmiths. This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of players. They even jointly requested to change back to the original setting after upgrading. However, these people only accounted for a small part of the total number of players, and most players were tired of that game mode, so they welcomed this change from the game company. In this way, this matter was finally left unresolved. Some opposing players were even attracted by the fun of the new game mode and stood up to firmly support this game mode.
The biggest beneficiary of this setting is the blacksmith. Just think about the fact that most of the equipment comes from them, you will know that the profits of this industry are absolutely considerable, so many players now choose to use blacksmith as their main profession. Of course, in order to balance the profession of blacksmith, the system will introduce some relevant measures for the equipment market. It is said that a standard equipment transaction price platform will be launched, and the relevant equipment prices will be listed on it, so that players can make a rough comparison when purchasing equipment, so that blacksmiths will not be too outrageous when pricing; not only that, the tax on selling equipment transactions will increase to 20%, which makes blacksmiths unable to become the profession that gets rich overnight.
Of course, this is just one aspect. There are many other aspects that have changed, and the most important one is the setting of the profession. In addition to the more than a dozen professions for reasons, many new professions have been added in the Eastern Continent. In terms of combat professions, there are more professions such as "wizard", "mechanics" and "formula master". These three professions have actually appeared in previous game life, but they are not formal professions. The former "Jade Girl Sword" is the best example, while I can represent the latter. The one in the middle is just to listen to others on the forum.
In terms of life professions, in addition to the original blacksmith, doctor, tailor, woodcutter, fisherman, merchant, chef, and appraiser, now there are three professions: "Carrier", "farmer" and "celebrity master". "Carrier" and "farmer" are easy to understand. The former is a rushing car, while the latter farms and provides players with crops such as grain. Moreover, the game company declares that as long as the number of "farmers" reaches a certain number, the plant-based food in the game will need to be purchased from the "farmers", even the system shop is no exception.
The profession of "Photo Master" is relatively abstract. In the description of the game profession, only the skill of "talent" prediction is given. The concept of "talent" involves changes in basic attributes. For a long time, there are three hidden attributes in the basic attributes of characters, namely "understanding", "charm" and "lucky". Players do not know the specific values of these attributes at all, nor do they know the specific role in the game. They just understand it from the sub-face.
But this time, all three hidden attributes were removed at once. The explanation for this is that in the future, these three aspects of the game need to be expressed by the player's own abilities, and they should not be determined by specific values. After all, things in the world are impermanent, "understanding", "charm" and "luck" will change with the passage of time, and of course they may be maintained at the same level for the rest of their lives. So this time, they are all removed at once, replaced by a hidden attribute of "talent".
The meaning of "talent" is easy to understand, that is, the player's special ability to a certain skill. Of course, the player himself does not know what this "talent" is, so it requires a "master of the subject" to predict. Of course, "master of the subject" is not so easy to be a "master of the subject", and the prediction is not exactly accurate, so it is not as easy to do the profession of "master of the subject" as imagined.
With the emergence of new professions, the conditions for players to have the number of professions are also relaxed. As long as you have the ability, players can choose to learn all professions and all basic skills as long as you can learn them. Players with "talent" in some aspects will of course be very easy to learn such skills, but if they do not have "talent" in this area, they will not spend much time on it. Even if they sometimes spend a lot of energy to devote themselves to it, they may still achieve nothing.
At the same time, the concept of "proficiency" is cancelled in the game, and no longer expressing the proficiency of a certain aspect of skills in a certain aspect is expressed in numbers, which relatively increases the difficulty of learning advancement. Of course, the level only has the value of the level itself, and the experience value is cancelled. There are many other changes in the game setting, so I will not list them one by one here.
As for the Western continent, in terms of combat profession, in addition to the profession of "wizard", there is also a profession of "beast tamer". In addition to being able to tame monsters, there is also a certain combat skills, which is very popular among the public and has become an emerging profession; in addition to the "coachman" and "farmer", there is also a profession of "accountant". This profession is very interesting. Some business of merchants can be handed over to "accountants", while "accountants" charge a certain fee, but there is not much fancy.
Secondly, "The World Record List" is officially ranked alongside "Weapon Ranking" and "The Weapon Ranking" as the two major rankings in the Eastern Continent. Now, as long as players with some strength, they hope to get a good ranking in "The World Record List" to prove their strength. However, this "The World Record List" is not popular with all players. Just like me, I have always been disdainful of it. It is better to fight more monsters in the game to earn more gold coins. What's more, I don't need the reputation pursued by many players.
Another important change is that the "Tianxia Dynasty" will summon some players from players to carry out city management work, such as yamen runners, police officers, or city guard officers, etc. As long as they pass the review of the "Tianxia Dynasty" cities, they can take office, and their salary is absolutely not low. I heard that a large number of senior players have become officials of the "Tianxia Dynasty". Some of them choose to spend their time full-time and devote themselves to official duties; some choose part-time, some play games part-time, and some work as law enforcement officers to handle various disputes in the game.
The above three changes have the greatest impact on players, and of course there is no major change for me. After all, except for refining medicine, I am just devoted to spending my time on the "Five Animal Show". More than three months have made me feel the changes in my body while practicing the "Big Five Animals".
It was August 9, 2nd year of the World Li. As usual, I started to play the "Five Animal Play" after refining a furnace of elixirs. I jumped and churned. I was extremely light and agile, and I felt more refreshed than before. Because after I became the "Big Five Animals", I found that my agility increased by ten points when I read the "Player Log" once. This is the attribute brought by upgrading two levels. I was happy and felt the charm of the "Five Animal Play" more, so I practiced more diligently.
Now, I will practice for a while every day when I am free. But this time I realized the difference. I actually felt a little pain from my dantian. The pain became more and more severe, like thousands of ants piercing my heart, making me roll to the ground involuntarily. This process lasted for half an hour. When I realized the pain slowly disappeared, my whole body was messed up by sweat and dust.
However, after checking my attributes, I cheered regardless of my embarrassment, because I finally found that the internal force that had disappeared for a long time had finally recovered. Although it was only 39 points in the numerical value, this gave me strong confidence. The confidence in the "Five Animal Show" made me know that as long as I keep it, I have the possibility of full recovery.
I was recovering my internal strength and began to concentrate on running the "Ba Jianxin Method" that I had not been running for a long time. The familiar flow of internal strength gradually calmed down my mind, and I was in a state of awakening but not awake...
