My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 227: The limits of skills

Views:

After a series of negotiations, Cheng Shaofeng walked out of the black hole of the ruins of shrine No. 50.

The angry voice of Hades came from behind: "Greedy clone!"

Black hole closing.

Cheng Shaofeng heard the notification sound from his smart watch with satisfaction.

Connected to base signal, body data has been backed up successfully.

"It is true that wealth and honor are sought in danger."

He successfully rescued 25 people and extorted money from the God of Hell.

In hand is a new scroll that can summon the Chthonic Legion to aid.

"My Lord, please get in the car. I will take you back to the base."

Zhao Yan was waiting outside the shrine with a carriage. When he saw Cheng Shaofeng coming out, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Let's go back."

The harvest this time was quite great, and Cheng Shaofeng had to go back and sort it out carefully.

"By the way, Lao Zhao, have all the people I sent out followed you back to the base?"

Lao Zhao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord! I have asked Lan Fu and the other three first-level peak evolvers to guard us. Some soldiers at the base have also been called over. Those people are all injured and can't run away."

"Okay, I'll be relieved as long as you send them back to the base."

When they arrived at the base, they were guarded by energy emission columns covering the entire area, so these people were temporarily unable to leave.

Cheng Shaofeng had to drain all of their skills before he could let them go.

After all, these are geniuses from all over the world, and they include all the nine inheritances of the Human Alliance except the Inquisitor!

Just collect all these professions at once.

Although each profession may not have too many skills, it can at least give an introduction to a profession, so that players can know what other systematic professions exist, and thus plan their second specialization choice.

Sitting in the carriage, Cheng Shaofeng realized that Cheng Dafu was seriously injured. His body was corroded by chaotic energy, and coupled with the attacks of some monsters, his health had dropped to about 1/5, and the life potion could no longer replenish his blood.

The situation of the Shadow Guard was not much better. As an ethereal being, although he was immune to physical attacks, he would suffer double damage from energy attacks. In addition, he had overdrawn his body after using Wind Walker twice in a row, and his upper limit of health had been reduced a lot.

"Luckily I'm back... It's all worth it. I'll give Cheng Dafu a new body when I get back to the base."

"This wave of players will be so happy."

"This seems to be the biggest direct contribution I have made to the base, right?"

Players have been assisting him in his growth, and high-level shadow guards have also helped the players once.

When Cheng Shaofeng thought about the conditions he had exchanged from the God of the Underworld, he almost laughed out loud.

"Especially the summoning players, please thank me."

The shadow guard closed his eyes, completely relaxed, and let Zhao Yan take him back to the base.

When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Shaofeng's consciousness returned to the Red City battlefield.

The fox demon squeezed with him on the Green Goblin skateboard, and commands came out of his mouth and reached the ears of each player.

In front, the third-level void behemoth was invincible. It stepped into the inner city of Red City, wielding a giant sword and began killing mode.

But the ones fighting it are not scorched humans, but a variety of strange... human-like robots.

Its appearance is completely different from that of the Charred Man. Its body is not burnt, its skin is extremely smooth, and the combination of machinery and flesh is very good, like a bionic robot from the future world.

But the clean and stiff human faces make players feel a weird horror.

Not as pleasing to the eye as the charred man with his face charred and wires and crystals coming out of it.

The combat effectiveness of these robots inside is obviously higher! Each one is extremely flexible, strong, and can launch various energy attacks from the body. The comprehensive combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the coked people.

Although not as numerous as the Scorched People, they have no obvious weaknesses, electric shocks are ineffective, and various energy attacks cause much less damage to them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Waves of colorful energy emanated from the joints of the bionic robot, leaving several charred marks on the giant Hades beast in front of it.

It's not fatal, but it still causes damage. If it accumulates, these third-level Hades monsters will be shot to death sooner or later.

Originally, Cheng Shaofeng had no intention of letting this giant underworld beast go back, as his mission would have been completed in 60 minutes. However, according to the terms agreed upon with the God of the Underworld, the summoning of this third-level underworld beast became indefinite, and it would belong to him from now on.

"Then we can't let this big guy die here..."

Seeing Cheng Shaofeng open his eyes, the demon fox hurriedly said, "My Lord, are you awake?"

"Well... tell me about the situation."

The fox pointed at the huge steel door below and said, "This is one of the gates connecting the outer and inner city of Red City. We entered from here and were attacked by these bionic robots. Our firepower did little damage to them. The previous strategy failed, and we are looking for a new strategy to target them."

"Fortunately, the Nether Demon Beast is very powerful. It is leading our soldiers forward towards the weapons depot that Long Yi detected. If we succeed in reaching it, we may be able to obtain some good things."

While the two were talking, the 10-meter-tall Hades monster swung its giant sword and chopped down fiercely.

boom!

A pink sword energy gushed out from the front of its giant sword, smashing 30 meters away and destroying all the bionic robots on the road.

Waves of experience were absorbed by the surrounding players.

"It's really strong... As expected of a third-level summon."

Even though the bionic robot is a fully upgraded version of the Charred Man and no longer has the weakness to weak electricity, it is still only as strong as a first-order evolver. In a 1v1 fight between players over level 10, they can still win if they are careful.

Following closely behind the Hades monster are a large number of summoned creatures.

Skeletons, Crows, Plague Demons, Void Demons, Heralds of Chaos.

At this point, all of the player's inexplicable Void Demons were killed, and 3 more were summoned on the spot.

"Huh? I just learned level 5, how can I summon 3?"

These three void demons were obviously different from the others. Dark red patterns flashed on their bodies, and they opened their mouths to spit out large amounts of pink flames into the fan-shaped area in front.

Whoosh whoosh~

In the attack path of the three new void demons, the skin of the android was burned black, and damage numbers appeared on its head.

Mo Ming: "What kind of skill is this? How can it have a ranged attack?"

He used his smart watch to check his skill bar.

A +5 symbol appeared after the skill level of Summon Void Demon.

Increased his original level 5 skill to level 10.

And it also comes with an extended skill: Breath of the Abyss

This expanded skill adds an ability to the Void Demon, which allows it to spit out fan-shaped chaotic flames, causing double damage of chaos + fire.

This attack scales with the strength of the Void Demon itself.

That is to say, a level 11 Void Demon will master a level 11 Breath of the Abyss.

"Holy crap!? There's a bug! Brothers who are learning summoning, take a look! Has your Void Demon skill mutated?"

Others looked at their own skills.

"Yeah! It's increased by 5 levels! And it comes with a new skill!"

"My Chaos Herald has also increased by 5 levels, bringing a skill called Nether Reaper. It's so powerful. I only learned level 1 and summoned a level 6 one directly."

"Take off, take off! Everyone, don't make any noise, just enjoy yourself first. It will be bad if the planner finds out!"

Polar Bear: "Just two new summoning skills? None of our old summoner skills have been enhanced?"

Lao Ao: "It seems so..."

The polar bear was immediately furious: "It's not fair! It's so unfair! I'm going to choose Barbarian as my second specialization right now!"

Of course, Cheng Shaofeng quickly explained all of this.

Ding~ World announcement!

Because the base has reached a friendly relationship with the master of the Hades world, the Hades summoning skills are temporarily upgraded by 5 levels, and come with expanded skills.

This was one of the agreements reached between Cheng Shaofeng and the God of Hell.

The summoning methods of the people on their side are different from those of other believers of the God of the Underworld. As long as they have learned through the skill engraving, they will summon underworld monsters with higher skill levels than their own when they summon.

That is, the more elite monsters trained by the God of the Underworld.

After hearing the word "temporarily" in the world announcement, other players reconsidered and did not rush to choose this profession.

But the players who have already made their choice are overjoyed.

Inexplicably, tears flowed down my face: "Is this the benefit of this version? Love it~"

Polar Bear suddenly thought of something, ran to Mo Ming and asked, "How many skill points do you have left?"

Mo Ming was slightly surprised: "I just reached level 11, and I have saved a lot... What are you going to do?"

The polar bear smiled slightly: "I have an idea that I need your help to verify..."

"What?"

"The skill level cap for Summoning Void Demon is 16, right?"

"yes."

"Now with the temporary buff brought by the Lord, this skill has increased its strength by 5 levels. So when you reach level 11, you can summon a full-level Void Demon, right?"

"Yes, isn't this a simple arithmetic problem?"

"What if your skill has already reached level 12 or the maximum level?"

Mo Ming suddenly covered his forehead and understood what the polar bear meant.

"So you want to see if this skill can break through level 16?"

"That's right! I've noticed that... for some skills, the higher the level, the stronger the bonus will be. So what will happen if you break through the upper limit? I want you to take this opportunity to try it out."

Mo Ming was also moved by what he said, and immediately invested 7 skill points to raise the summoning of void demon to level 12. As his mind was filled with summoning experience, his summoning skill also showed the current level on his smart watch: 17/16

“Hiss~ A breakthrough! Really a breakthrough!”

After 3 minutes, he used this skill again and summoned 4 void demons at once!

One of them was wearing energy armor and was a head taller than the other void demons, with even stronger energy fluctuations on his body.

The leader of the void demons!

It is the strongest void demon that Cheng Shaofeng and his companions can only encounter on the third floor.

Inexplicable: "At level 16, you can only summon 3, with a chance to summon a demon leader, but at level 17... you can directly summon 4! I can control one more!"

Investing another 4 skill points raised the level of the Void Demon to level 21/16, 5 levels beyond the skill cap.

The void demon summoned again... after its formation, a layer of inexplicable energy covered its body, making it even stronger.

The inexplicable energy bar was also sucked dry in an instant.

Cheng Shaofeng also noticed the experiment of the two. He looked at the level 21 void demon with a strange look: "Why do I feel that... the one summoned by my players is stronger than the one in the underworld?"

And polar bears can also be confirmed.

"The skill level cap... can be broken! It will lead to greater enhancement."

4 summons increase the combat power by a full 1/3 compared to 3 summons.

Xigou immediately thought of an equipment: "Oh right! I remember Agent Feng has an equipment with +1 for all skill levels. This... wouldn't it be possible to break the upper limit of all his skills?"

This discovery shocked the members of the Peak Team.

But at this time, Yaohu had no time to analyze the situation with them. He was busy directing others to continue attacking Red City.

"Fire team, cover the left side of the Void Beast! Kill those androids that jump down from the roof!"

"Summon players to pile up all the monsters. Don't be afraid of death! Summon again after you die. Just charge and it's done! This robot's close combat ability is weak!"

"Barbarian players should stop trying to use Battle Shout, and Necromancers should stop using control skills like Bad Omen, as they are immune to control!"

"There's a building blocking the way ahead, giant beast of Hades, smash it open for me!"

The inner city of Red City was in a mess. Under the cover of the Hades monster, the players engaged in street battles and tug-of-war with a large number of bionic robots.

The imaginary people shouted in unison with emotionless voices: "Humanity, all should be exterminated."

"You all must die."

"Thank you for helping me get rid of those charred human remains outside. Now there's no one who can restrain us robots anymore, hahahaha~"

Creepy shrill laughter came from all directions.

The members of the special forces team nodded: "As expected..."

After hearing this, Xigou also understood why they did not encounter any resistance from the fishing intelligent robot when they were cleaning up the periphery before.

"So the robots and the charred people are not in the same group?"

"Not only do the scorched people on the periphery not allow others to enter Red City, they also prevent the robots from leaving Red City?"

Cheng Shaofeng suddenly laughed: "The Jiaohua people are just so-so. Being able to stop their robots proves that the robots are just so-so. Soldiers! Take over Hongcheng today! Find this intelligent robot!"

Just as he finished speaking, 10 missiles were launched from the center of Red City.

Boom boom boom!

Flames burst out, and a small mushroom cloud rose from the location of the dark beast.

The giant evil beast was blown away on the spot.

A large number of players nearby were killed or injured!

Everyone: “… ”

The fox demon who had just been giving orders passionately swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his head with difficulty to look at Cheng Shaofeng.

"My Lord, look at this... How about we take it slow first?"

"withdraw!"

What the hell is this? Why are there missiles

Cheng Shaofeng felt heartbroken when he saw the giant Nether Beast that was covered in blood from the explosion.

From now on, this pet will be the guardhouse of the Scourge Base!

"If the Dark Demon Beast wasn't so tough, and another Level 3 Beast came... these 10 missiles would have wiped it out."

He realized once again... Even though the evolvers under the energy system were becoming stronger and stronger, they were still mortal after all, and the destructive power of thermal weapons could not be ignored.

All of a sudden, all the remaining players who were not dead crawled out of the inner city of Red City.

After the blood-covered giant Hades beast retreated, Long Yi quickly closed the gate they had opened, temporarily cutting off the connection between the outer city and the inner city.

Wei Long asked, "Just now the robot inside thanked us for killing the charred people... and said that it was not bound? It seems to be telling us a key message... Long Yi, you should protect the remaining charred people outside first, don't kill them, I think it may be useful."

Long Yi was working frantically on the computer.

"Okay, I won't release the remaining isolated charred people for the time being."

After a brief confrontation, no more missiles were launched from the Red City, which made Cheng Shaofeng and the players breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, go back first. Come back after the Dark Monsters have recovered from their injuries. I don't believe they have so many missiles..."

"Also, the base is going to include a large number of skills, so you should also improve yourselves."

"Red City...will be our base sooner or later."

All players followed Cheng Shaofeng to exit Red City to prevent being attacked by missiles again.
