Xia Ning's profession is an elemental mage.
Elemental mage is one of the four branches of mage and is also the most standard mage.
One difference between this profession and other professions is that its initial skills are different.
For other professions, the initial skills are the same. For example, as long as you are a beast tamer, the two skills you can start with are Bobufu and Duel Space. As long as you are a berserker, you must be heavy weapon mastery and fire slash.
But the elemental mage is different. After changing to an elemental mage, there will be four different initial skills, namely earth, water, fire and wind, representing the four elements.
Xia Ning only found out about this later. At first, she thought that all professions had four skills to choose from.
"How do you know?" Xia Ning asked.
"Maybe you didn't realize it, but you already have the breath of wind in your body."
"The breath of wind?"
"Yeah!" Yuan Chenfei nodded seriously: "After clicking Wind Element Mastery, do you feel useless?"
Xia Ning nodded.
She raised her right hand slightly, and a whirlpool of wind appeared in her palm.
This is the wind power she gained after mastering the wind element. She can directly condense a wind whirlpool. If necessary, the wind whirlpool will condense into a wind blade and fly out.
The lethality is very weak.
Yes, very weak, so weak that Xia Ning wanted to cry.
But even so, she is still at level four.
An elemental mage just cut it with a knife and cut it into the fourth level.
Although she is elegant and generous now, during the hard upgrade stage, she also wallowed in mud and pools of blood.
But Xia Ning can't say these things.
As long as she is still here, still among her classmates, and still in front of Yuan Chenfei, she is Xia Ning, the aloof goddess.
She would not allow others to see her hard work.
But Yuan Chenfei seemed to know it without looking.
He said: "Elemental mage is a typical late-stage profession, but if it is not improved, it is likely to become the most useless profession."
Xia Ning was confused: "How to say?"
Yuan Chenfei said: "The elemental mage does not rely on a single skill to make a living. In fact, its single skills are garbage and very weak. The current wind element mastery and mage hand are weak, and the skills that will appear later will also be weak."
"Then why is the elemental mage so powerful?"
Yuan Chenfei: "It depends on the combination."
"A combination?" Xia Ning's eyes were full of surprise.
Yuan Chenfei then told her that it turned out that the profession of elemental mage was very strange. All of his twenty skills were low-level skills, including five skills each for earth, water, fire and wind.
In other words, although your initial skill today is the wind element, sorry, when you upgrade in the future, those elemental skills you did not get will still appear, including earth, fire, water, and wind.
It sounds like it's just a matter of order change, but it's not.
Because the skills of elemental mages can be combined with each other.
The principle of combination is the combination of the same level.
For example, the five skills of the wind system are zero-level wind element mastery, first-level mage's hand, second-level wind agility, third-level wind spirit, and fourth-level tornado, and then they are gone. The power of a level 4 magic tornado from an elemental mage is only about the same as that of Fiery Slash, and may even be worse.
However, starting from level three of elemental skills, skills can be combined with each other.
For example, a Level 3 Wind Spirit combined with a Level 3 Earth Element Clay Sculpting can produce a Level 5 spell, Tentacle of Wind, which can attack and restrain opponents. Combined with the flame charge of the fire system, it can produce explosive fire crows, which have powerful tracking attacks and explosion capabilities. Combined with the freezing ray of the water system, it can form a jackdaw invasion and have an attack slowdown effect.
The combination of two fourth-level spells is a sixth-level spell.
A seventh-level spell is composed of three third-level spells, an eighth-level spell is composed of three fourth-level or four third-level spells, and a ninth-level spell is composed of four fourth-level spells, which is also the highest spell, doomsday disaster, and is known as a nuclear bomb-level spell. , the maximum power can directly level an entire city.
Because it is a free combination, it is not only powerful, but also has many skills and has a wide range of adaptability.
"So powerful?" Xia Ning's eyes widened when she heard this.
"It's indeed powerful, but this is what I want to tell you. Don't take this route if you are not sure."
"Why?"
"Skill points." Yuan Chenfei replied.
All skills rely on skill points to improve.
Four level four spells mean that all elements must be improved, which itself means taking up a lot of skill points.
If all your fourth-level skills are level one just to unleash a doomsday disaster... Hehe, that would be a level one doomsday disaster.
Such a natural disaster, let alone a nuclear bomb, might not even be considered a storm.
"Skill points..." Xia Ning whispered.
Some of the people around her were already at level 5, so she was already aware of the importance of skill points.
If you don't have enough skill points, improving four elements at the same time is indeed an act of seeking death.
"So what you mean is..."
Yuan Chenfei said: "No matter what, at least two elements must be mastered, otherwise the combination will be impossible. What you already have is wind. If combined with fire, the combination will be a fast and powerful attack type, and with earth Combination, both offensive and defensive, combined with water, good at slowing down and other control skills, but it cannot be generalized, I can only say that the general direction is this. You need to determine your own style first, and then wait until the opportunity to choose again comes, and make a choice. There After that, if you are not sure, just give up the other two elements. If you are sure, it is not too late to add one more. The other is elemental mastery, which also affects the power of subsequent skills. In other words, if you want to take the later route, So now the most useless elemental mastery must be worked hard to add more, because it directly affects the effect of the later combination. As for the first and second level skills, they are really useless because they do not participate in the combination. So like the hand of the mage, the agility of the wind This type of skill is only useful in the early stage. If you want to be powerful in the later stage, then give up completely. It is best not to add a single skill point. However, this choice also means that you need more patience in the early stage... It is best to find someone to lead you. .”
"So that's it." A smile appeared on Xia Ning's face: "Thank you for your reminder. It has been of great help to me. Is there anything else?"
"Elemental mage's ultimate skills will be acquired earlier than other professions. Then you will have to face a choice..." Yuan Chenfei said softly to Xia Ning, and Xia Ning's bright eyes flashed with excitement.
"Yes, I understand." Xia Ning nodded repeatedly.
After Yuan Chenfei finished speaking, Xia Ning just let out a long breath: "Hearing what you said, I finally feel relieved, and it's not in vain that I worked so hard before. But how do you know so much?"
"Mystra told me."
"Mystra?" Xia Ning asked strangely.
"System Elf, Intelligent Brain, Magic Network Manager, Magic Goddess... whatever you want to understand." Yuan Chenfei briefly talked about Mystra.
It is undoubtedly a good choice to blame the matter on Mystra.
People would not go to a system elf for verification, and even if they did, they would not get any results. After the last conversation, Mystra ignored Yuan Chenfei again. As it said, he was very busy.
Xia Ning felt much better after receiving Yuan Chenfei's guidance. She said, "Well, for your help, I will join this mutual aid meeting."
"I'm not telling you this just for this." Yuan Chenfei smiled and shook his head.
"I know." Xia Ning smiled and said, "Then what else do you want?"
"Do you have to do something to repay this favor?" Yuan Chenfei understood him and shook his head helplessly. He thought for a while and said, "Well, let's do this. I have a house that I plan to sell for white crystal. You can help me deal with it. Well, there is also a chicken farm in the suburbs, so we will deal with it together."
"Selling the house for Bai Jing, you are really brave enough to do it." Xia Ning was also happy.
Nowadays, the price of white crystal is not cheap, but the price of goods has skyrocketed, and the price of houses has also increased. Yuan Chenfei estimated that with the current market, it is not a problem to exchange for 70,000 to 80,000 white crystal.
It was definitely not possible to get so many white crystals at once. It would take someone to collect them everywhere. Yuan Chenfei didn't have the energy, so he simply asked Xia Ning to do it for her. For her, this was not difficult.
"Okay, I'll help you with this." Xia Ning smiled and said, "I mean, you don't have any other requests?"
"I really want it, but I'm afraid of blaspheming the goddess." Yuan Chenfei said leisurely.
"Come on, you have already committed blasphemy." Xia Ning smiled, paused, and said, "I broke up with him."
"I know, I've heard about it."
Xia Ning looked at him affectionately.
Then she leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips.
When someone in the hall saw this scene, they all booed.
What they didn't know was that after that kiss, Xia Ning whispered another word to him.
She said: "Longxing Hotel, 1802."
Then she calmly returned to her seat.
The booing was still there, and there was constant chatter and laughter in the hall.
But Fatty Qianjiang walked over leisurely.
He bumped Yuan Chenfei with his fat ass: "Help him get one? Will it be me next?"
Yuan Chenfei smiled and said, "You really fucking know everything."
"Tch, when Chang Mao sticks his butt, I know what he wants to do." Fatty Qian said disdainfully: "I said, why are you helping him like this? This kid is very shady and unreliable."
"He is a suitable choice. You may not like his character, but you have to admit that most people who are suitable for this position have his temperament. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do well." Yuan Chenfei replied.
Fatty Qian nodded, that was true.
The so-called politics is personnel affairs.
The city government can't do anything without anything in the officialdom, and the same goes for private institutions. Long-sleeved, good at dancing, and deep-tempered, this is simply the standard character of a person in a high position.
So no matter which one Yuan Chenfei chose, he was so pissed off that Fatty Qian had to admit that what he said was reasonable.
It's different from convincing Xia Ning. Women always have to be more emotional. Talking to them about logical benefits sometimes makes no sense. Talking about emotions is meaningful. Even if Xia Ning is a very practical and powerful woman, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have herself. romantic thoughts. So Yuan Chenfei didn't tell her anything about the benefits of establishing this team, he only said that he needed it.
But it was different for Qian Jiang. He had to give a more reliable answer.
After listening to Yuan Chenfei's analysis, Qian Jiang and Xia Ning's first thoughts were the same: "You are very confident in yourself."
"It's okay. At least there's no problem in torturing you, a second-level eidolon master."
"Take that talent back to me! What's wrong with Level 2? Does Level 2 have no human rights? I am a professional after all. In the tide of this new era, I am still a pioneer."
"Then you, a pioneer, are not willing to support the younger generations?"
"Of course there is no problem, but I don't want to take advantage of others. Although Chang Mao is somewhat useful, I always feel unhappy with him. Who knows when this kid will stab us in the back?"
Yuan Chenfei looked at him with a look of disdain: "You are a businessman after all."
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you know what investment is?" Yuan Chenfei asked.
The fat man was stunned.
Yuan Chenfei patted him on the shoulder: "When an organization is established, it must have a structure, restrictions, supervision, and even investors... If you want to be the boss, you may not always be the boss. The founders of emerging companies Are there too many examples of being kicked out by the board of directors? If you do well, you will be allowed to continue working. If you do not do well, you will get out. So the key is not who is the boss, but whether the boss has a restraint system."
The fat man's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean..."
"Chang Mao wants to form the 402 core group. I can understand his starting point. There must be some team members. But doing so can easily arouse people's resentment. I am not interested in joining this core group. You go ahead. You and Lao Guan, Add Xia Ning, Heizi, and Chang Mao to form a five-person organization. As long as you are here, Chang Mao can't cover up the sky."
