Chapter 164: Genuine goods and good value (first update)

Views:

Zhao Mingwei has been thinking about the significance of the awakening setting.

In the eyes of most players, awakening is nothing more than acquiring a powerful skill, and the name of the profession has changed from a very common Qi Master to a very stylish name, Mad Tiger Emperor.

In addition, Zhao Mingwei heard that some female Qi Masters were called "Bai Hua Liao Luan" after their first awakening.

The job change system of the Holy Spirit is very complicated. Zhao Mingwei has read many posts in the forum in the past, but none of them have summarized all the job changes of the Holy Spirit.

But Zhao Mingwei always felt that the significance of awakening...maybe not only to gain a super powerful skill, but also to make the name of his profession more impressive.

Maybe other players didn’t have this feeling, but when Zhao Mingwei completed the awakening mission and gained the recognition of Jin Leihu, he felt that there was something extra in his body.

It is a bit like the transformation from a 'mortal' Qi Master to an 'extraordinary' person. In the background story settings of the first stage of awakening of multiple professions, they all begin to gradually move towards the extraordinary path, or the opportunity to become a god.

There was a post on the forum whose analysis Zhao Mingwei agreed with. Before awakening at level 50, the Holy Spirits were still mortal bodies. After awakening, the Holy Spirits embarked on the path of sanctification in various forms.

But these are all insignificant game background stories, which are simply used to highlight how awesome this profession is.

The problem is that Zhao Mingwei knows that this world is real, so... is the background story also fake? Is the roar of the Golden Thunder Tiger really just simulated by lines of code

Zhao Mingwei himself didn't know, but he could control the actions of the Golden Thunder Tiger with his mind. Every time the Golden Thunder Tiger swung its claws, it was as if Zhao Mingwei was hitting the enemy in the face with his fist.

This is a strange feeling... He has seen the awakened Golden Thunder Tigers released by other Qi Master players, which can only jump on the ground more than ten times before bursting.

But the movement of the Golden Thunder Tiger controlled by Zhao Mingwei is no longer a single jump, it is releasing its own fury.

The Golden Thunder Tiger did not release its anger irrationally. Every time it swung its sword, it pinned a spell thief to the ground.

The Spell Thieves on the Obsidian Road are between level 45 and 50, all of them are elite monsters, and there are thirty-two of them.

If a novice player were to take down a Spell Thief of this level, it might take five novice players to team up to kill one. However, Zhao Mingwei was able to withstand the attacks of several Spell Thieves with just Awakening, and the rest were left to the people of the Leaping Nuclear Guild.

Zhao Mingwei did not show any mercy, because after coming to Brand Island, Freya told her one thing very clearly.

'The crystal power of the island will drive people crazy. Good Holy Spirit, please purify those who are troubled by the crystal suffering. The great God has given you the power to kill but not to die. You will not take anyone's life. They will be saved in another safe place in this world.'

Zhao Mingwei didn't delve too deeply into the meaning of this sentence, but in the eyes of the players, these spell thieves were just a group of elite humanoid monsters. The number of elite humanoid monsters killed by Zhao Mingwei in the game might have exceeded 100 million.

Moreover, Holy Spirit is a game that focuses on health and harmony. Zhao Mingwei has been playing it for so long and has not seen any overly bloody effects. If it were to be rated on the market, it should be rated 15+.

Therefore, Zhao Mingwei did not show mercy just because the other party was a person with his own thoughts. He went all out to kill any elite monster with a health bar. This was a sign of respect for them.

After a spell thief was torn into pieces and disappeared by the Golden Thunder Tiger's bite, the Golden Thunder Tiger pounced on another spell thief again.

What surprised Zhao Mingwei was that... the spell thief released a skill called Mind Shield.

The Golden Thunder Tiger pounced on the energy shield with one claw, and a large number of cracks appeared on the transparent surface of the energy shield.

"You are not the only one... who can master this power." The spell thief who released the mental shield looked to be in his thirties. The ID on his head was Spell Thief Ben Reggie. Every elite spell thief here had his own name.

Rather than simply being a collective term for the elite law thieves, this made Zhao Mingwei even more certain that they might be a living person.

The spell thief named Ben Regis only has half of his health left, about 150,000 points, but the mental energy he releases should not be underestimated.

When Zhao Mingwei's Golden Thunder Tiger swung its sharp claws to shatter the mental shield he released, the phantoms of a dragon and a tiger suddenly appeared behind him and bit Zhao Mingwei's Golden Thunder Tiger.

"You Holy Spirits possess so many powerful powers...but some of you can't even use a sword. What else can you do if you lose these powers?" Ben Regis seemed to catch the surprised expression on Zhao Mingwei's face.

The dragon-tiger driven by Ben Reggie was able to compete with Zhao Mingwei's golden thunder tiger for a moment, but the price was that his meridians had begun to collapse, and under the erosion of the violent mental energy, blood gushed out from both of his arms.

Zhao Mingwei looked back at Ye Lina who was behind him. Zhao Mingwei wanted Ye Lina to understand the danger of the power of mind energy. The spell thief named Ben Regis was right.

The power that players possess is just a series of shortcuts, and there is no need to take any risks at all. If Ye Lina wants to practice the power of mind energy, she will risk losing her life.

The worry in Ye Lina's eyes was not fear of the mental energy, she was afraid that Zhao Mingwei would lose.

Zhao Mingwei understood the emotions in Ye Lina's eyes, and at this moment the enemy's dragon and tiger let out another angry roar.

"Let's see whether your mind beast is powerful or the one I just raised is stronger!" The spell thief named Ben Regis shouted to Zhao Mingwei.

"… "

Zhao Mingwei looked at the wounds all over his body that had been torn apart by the raging mental energy and sighed softly.

These Spell Thieves might not die if their health is drained by the Holy Spirits, but this cannot stop them from applying self-harming BUFFs to themselves.

Zhao Mingwei's pupils flashed with lightning, and his figure instantly disappeared in front of Ye Lina.

The next second, Zhao Mingwei appeared behind Ben Reggie. He turned around and saw Zhao Mingwei suddenly appearing, and the smug expression on his face turned into astonishment.

"What?!" Ben Reggie couldn't figure out how Zhao Mingwei appeared here.

"The power I possess is not limited to the Mind Beast." The moment Zhao Mingwei finished speaking, he punched him directly in the abdomen, and a sound of breaking through the air erupted from behind him.

Inch punch!

The basic skill for fighters at level 5.

Hot blood spurted out of the Spell Thief's mouth, and when he tried to punch back, he was met with a side kick instead.

His body flew high into the sky after a side kick, and what faced him was only the energy cannon gathered in Zhao Mingwei's hand.

He adjusted his body in the air to block the energy cannon, but what made him despair was that after the energy cannon, Zhao Mingwei condensed a violent energy force in his right hand and pushed forward. A huge spiral energy field was released, and he felt like he was thrown into a meat grinder, a high-speed one at that.

But Ben Regis held on. Not only did he hold on, he also used his mental energy to interrupt Zhao Mingwei's spell.

"When it comes to fighting, you guys..." He didn't have time to finish his words. When he looked again, he saw Zhao Mingwei's fist coming towards him. Zhao Mingwei swung his fist and hit him directly in the face. This was a punch without any mental energy attached to it. It was not from any skill, but just a very ordinary basic attack.

But this punch completely knocked him away, causing the law thief to fall to the ground and become unable to get up.

Zhao Mingwei didn't know if there was a system in Holy Spirit that allowed for multiple combos, or if a humanoid monster could keep hitting its head to make the opponent dizzy, but Zhao Mingwei knew that in reality, hitting someone on the head like this would definitely make them dizzy.

The key point is that the body of this law thief has been corroded beyond recognition by the mental energy. It is time to let him calm down.

Ben Reggie fell to the ground with only 50,000 HP left. Zhao Mingwei's previous combo only took away less than 30,000 HP of the opponent. The remaining 70,000 HP was all created by his own copying of the power of mental energy.

The vitality of the Spell Thieves is far stronger than that of ordinary humans. The health of ordinary human NPCs is only 30,000 at most, and most of them only have 3,000 or 4,000. Ordinary people have about 500 or 600. The stronger ones can almost reach 100,000. Only the top ones can reach 200,000. Only those humans who transcend the category of "human" can have the health of elite and lord-level monsters.

The law thieves are humans who have transcended their human identity. This is probably the result of the crystallized power in their bodies.

The really tricky monsters are the lord-level dragons that inhabit this island. Their hard scales and crystalline armor can provide a lot of damage reduction. The tricky thing about the Spell Thieves is... these guys are very flexible and their targets are very small. When novice players fight against the Spell Thieves, most of their skills will be wasted.

This was just like the previous fight with the Lancers. Some NPCs with rich combat skills could easily play with the players. Ben Reggie was one of the NPCs with rich combat skills. He had obviously fought with the Holy Spirits before, and they were still a group of novice players. In Zhao Mingwei's eyes, even those players who had reached the maximum level and had perfect equipment were still novices if their skills were not up to standard.

That is why they look down upon the Holy Spirits and believe that the power they possess is simply not in line with the strength of the Holy Spirits themselves.

But unfortunately... the strength of every member of the Leaping Nuclear Guild is... genuine!

After knocking out a suspected lord-level spell thief, Zhao Mingwei looked around the battlefield. Those spell thieves had already begun to flee. After the portal was established, the strategy team of the Leaping Nuclear Guild had a total of seventy-two people, including members of the Abyss Temple.

Zhao Mingwei looked at Deng Xis on the other side. The moment his gaze turned to Deng Xis, Mo Shigui's chest had been pierced by the long sword in Deng Xis's hand.

Mo Shigui's life also fell to zero at this moment.
