Lin Tang's position in the peak team is a trap master + firepower player. It is perfect to choose blasting to improve trap means and increase fire and electricity damage.
There is basically no other alternative career, so the choice was made quickly.
When it comes to Xigou, things are more troublesome. His first specialization, the Barbarian, has many skills, including the two-handed blade, which makes him only able to do close combat physical damage and he cannot carry a shield.
There are two professions that meet this condition: Soldier and Night Blade.
From a professional perspective, the soldier is more inclined towards survival, while the night blade further improves the attack attribute.
“Is it more balanced or more extreme?”
Xigou has been thinking about this problem for 2 days.
From a personal point of view, he likes the ultimate sense of operation, but from the perspective of team attributes... their team currently has only 2 front-row players, him and Lao Bai.
Lao Bai is originally a DPS player. If he also goes for pure DPS, the front row may not be able to hold on.
Yaohu saw Xigou's worry, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You should follow your favorite play style, so that you can exert stronger combat power. You have summons and summoners to support your tankiness, so don't worry."
"Yeah, that makes sense. Next time, let the polar bear hold a shield and go to the front."
Polar bear: "No problem, I'll add all my strength points, and all my equipment attributes except for the pet bonus are defense items. Who dares to compete with me in terms of tankiness?"
Xigou: "OK! Then I'll choose Night Blade. The skills of this specialization are really cool."
Night Blade currently has only 4 skills, 2 of which are dual-sword skills.
Shear Slash and Shadow Slash.
Scissor Slash: Use two weapons to attack the opponent like scissors. It can deal with multiple enemies and stun them.
Flash Shadow Slash: Shake your hands at an extremely fast speed, instantly causing three attacks.
One is a martial art that can be used against multiple people, and the other is a martial art that bursts out instantly.
It is somewhat different from the Barbarian class's Cleave, which slashes in a 180-degree arc to knock back the enemy.
"With these two skills, my attack rhythm will be stronger, with more changes, and the burst of Shadow Slash is too high! Three strikes per second."
Xigou feels that he can recreate the feeling of playing DNF in "Apocalypse OL".
In addition to these two required skills, there is also a skill called Phantom Blade, which is used to throw energy throwing knives. It is different from the fighting method of the thin dog, so we will put it aside for now.
Finally, there is a single buff: Gas Explosion
Night Blade's unique skill, converting crystal energy into 'vitality' to allow his body to gain speed and strength burst in a short period of time, and can also heal his body
0/12
Next level: 1
Energy consumption: 15
Cooldown: 60 seconds
Duration: 24 seconds
Health Regeneration: 12%
Life regeneration rate per second +15
Attack ability +8
Overall speed +2%
Applicable profession: Night Blade
Required Nightblade Professional Mastery Points: 5
A skill that instantly restores health and increases one's speed and reaction.
Xigou thinks this skill must be maxed out.
"As expected of an assassin class, all of its skills are so fast. This seems to be the first time a skill that increases overall speed has appeared in this game, right?"
Lao Ao: "The effect of increasing agility is similar. It can also increase the overall speed, but... people with high agility increase the overall speed by a percentage, and the speed is even more terrifying. Obviously, your strength and agility are very suitable for this skill."
Xigou: "Right... And for the Nightblade specialization, each additional specialization point will increase 1 strength, 1 agility, and 0.5 intelligence, which perfectly matches my points."
"Change your job!"
After Xigou confirmed it, a light appeared on his body, as if something was completed.
Congratulations to the player 'African Slender Dog' for changing his job to a hunter.
“What a nice name!”
Xigou happily went to upgrade his skills. He saved 30 skill points, raised the Night Blade specialization bar to level 15, maxed out Air Explosion, and then upgraded Shear Slash and Shadow Slash to level 1 each.
The basic attributes have been greatly improved, and at the same time, one's own combat effectiveness has also been greatly enhanced.
"I heard from the NPC of Night Blade inheritance that gas explosion is a mental method that all inheritors must learn. There will be advanced skills for the mental method later. I guess they are talking about expanded skills."
After finishing Xigou's skills, Yaohu and other teammates have almost finalized everyone's job change direction.
"Although we have all these professions now, they don't have many skills. We roughly guessed the future direction based on the names and introductions of the professions. In addition, we also added the best combination that can enhance the collective combat effectiveness. Our job transfer is as follows."
"Old White's second special is Oathkeeper. From now on, you should hold a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other. The speed of Whirlwind is fast enough. In theory, the rotating shield will block more attacks for you, and Oathkeeper's Will's Strength skill will greatly improve your mobility. The Avatar of Virtue, a team-wide damage-increasing aura, will add more levels of damage to Whirlwind. It's a perfect match."
Old White nodded, Barbarian + Oathkeeper, Job Change: Fanatic
"I won't talk about the polar bear. The bonus from the Underworld is too high now. The limit-breaking Void Demon and Chaos Herald super-model summons, plus there are also equipment over there that can strengthen your summons. I'll choose the Barbarian as my second profession and go for the pure summoning style."
Polar Bear: "What a pity... I heard from the NPC called 'Turkey' that there is a super cool summoning creature called Hellhound behind their mysterious inheritance. There is no summoning creature in the base right now, so we can only choose Barbarians first... Lao Ao, when you learn it, let me ride your dog."
Undead + Barbarian, Polar Bear Job Change: Barbarian Sacrifice
"Lao Ao has already learned the Ranger specialization. When I accepted the mission from the Lord just now, the Lord said that his Shadow Guard clone is heading to the base camp of the Ranger profession. He has some good auxiliary skills and can also take care of summoning. Our team's ace auxiliary depends on you."
Lao Ao: “I’m very happy~”
"Finally, it's me... I choose Shaman, and I'll play support and control for everyone."
The skills of the fox demon are mainly control-based, supplemented by aura and summoning.
The Shaman class has a skill called Binding Vines, which can control the enemy in a range, and it is linked to the general skill Binding Vines. If used well, it can artificially divide the battlefield and play a role in controlling the situation.
'Wait... this combination feels a bit familiar.'
After thinking for 3 seconds, the demon fox cursed and said, "What blue silver grass martial spirit!"
Necromancer + Shaman, Fox Job Change: Priest
The last one is French Fries who just joined the team. He can only choose the first specialization "Arcane" at present.
French Fries: "From the perspective of output... Arcane is unique by itself, and the effect is average when paired with other professions. I will wait for the later skills. I won't change my profession before level 20 anyway."
Arcane has a total of 5 skills, in addition to 1 passive meditation, there are 4 attack skills, so there is no shortage of output.
Xigou: "Okay, now that everyone has completed their job transfers and has been equipped with equipment, this wave... we are very strong! We can go and complete the lord's mission!"
They received an exclusive mission: to develop a snow-capped mountain outpost.
30 kilometers north of Bai Ze Lake is an endless stretch of snow-capped mountains. According to the Shadow Guard's exploration, there are many ice-type monsters hidden there, including snowmen, brown bears, ice elves, and so on.
The ecology is extremely abnormal!
There must be something wrong when there is a place full of ice monsters within the human safety zone.
According to Cheng Shaofeng's experience, if monsters with the same attributes coexist in an area, then... there may be shrine ruins.
It’s just that the snow mountain is too remote and sparsely populated. It’s unknown how long the monsters inside have existed, and they are obviously much stronger than the monsters around the shrine they encountered before.
To go here, you must be a high-level player with good equipment.
"The mission assigned to us by the Lord is to find a safe location to build a sub-base, and then look for clues to the remains of the shrine in the snowy mountains. This is completely consistent with our team's actions as we can fight high-level monsters to level up and find the shrine at the same time."
"Let's go!"
The 7-member peak team rode big motorcycles to the snow-capped mountains to explore advanced maps.
Shadow Guard 1 was already waiting for them there.
If successfully developed, the Snow Mountain Outpost will become a great place for high-level players to grind.
In addition to the top team, Cheng Shaofeng also assigned the firepower team and the weak team the task of developing sub-bases and setting up temporary bases in places where monsters gathered.
But the level and number of monsters are far less than those in the snow mountains, and their importance is not as high.
This is just to expand the vision of the Scourge Base, clear out the wasteland monsters around Red City, form a safe area, and plan for the next step of foreign trade and diplomacy.
After communicating with the 24 people from various cities who had been rescued earlier, Cheng Shaofeng marked the approximate locations of 65 human cities on the dark base map according to their descriptions.
Among them, there are slight notes on each city’s occupations, specialties, and material richness.
Shadow Guard 2 was taking a nap in the aircraft.
Cheng Shaofeng's real body opened his eyes.
He looked at the prosperous development of Bai Ze Lake. Three teams were already on their way to the surrounding outposts. Hongcheng also began to restore its previous production facilities under the command of Zero.
"Everything is going in the right direction. I've accomplished more this winter than I thought."
He originally thought that the players could survive in low temperatures, then slowly upgrade, save some supplies, wait for spring to start planting, expand the trading base, and gradually lead the players to fight...
I didn’t expect that after taking over the Red City, the Scourge Base would start to run at full speed!
"I roughly understand why countries in history had such a large population but could not mobilize many soldiers to fight and expand. First of all, they need tools and food to expand outward. Without food, clothing and daily necessities, what's the point of fighting?"
The abundance of basic supplies has accelerated the development of the Disaster Base!
Looking at the cities marked on the dark world map, Cheng Shaofeng issued a task to the players.
Mission: Complete professional skills
Recruit soldiers to go to the cities marked on the map, join the major professional inheritances, learn more skills, and bring back skill seals to receive a lot of rewards.
Rewards: Experience, Merit, Iron Coins, Titles, which are distributed according to the skill specialization points brought back by the soldiers. (The higher the specialization points, the higher the reward)
Requirements for accepting the task: Level 20
Players who accept the task can obtain a set of "travel expenses" prepared by the lord.
PS: You may encounter more random events and get random opportunities when going out. For players who go out to find skills, resurrection does not consume resurrection coins and there is no cooling time.
"There are nine great human inheritances, and each inheritance has dozens of skills. Currently, there are only a few basic skills, which is too few."
“We need to get the players moving.”
This is a long-term plan, and after it is released, it will probably take a month or two to see feedback from players.
Some players may encounter an accident and die on the way home, so all the previous steps are in vain, wasting time and experience, and finally gaining nothing.
The rewards of carrying out this mission are far less substantial than those of killing monsters, and players may not be very interested in it, but there are always some people like Agent Feng who are keen to explore this world.
When the first batch of players arrive at various human cities, the diplomats can also bring the specialties of the Scourge base to open the gates of these cities.
No matter what, this plan must be implemented, and some players have to be dispersed to do it.
"I hope that players who choose this path will be successful... Help me see what this world is like."
After the task is released.
The players discussed it for a while, and then ignored it, as everyone showed little interest.
I once made a promise with the gods: "High risk, uncertain return, what's the difference between this and gambling... It's okay to die once when going out on an expedition, but it's terrible to leave all your equipment outside and not be able to find it. I worked so hard to get all my equipment inlaid."
Clown King: "I think in order to complete this mission, we have to form a reliable team. Are the old assault teams in Red City interested?"
Forgiveness Hat: "If I didn't open these stores, I would really like to travel around the world, but unfortunately... I can't help myself. If any of you have gone to other cities, please help me see if there is a crystal meat store, so that I can open a branch."
Magic Conch: "I think fried fish is more practical..."
"How dare you mention frying fish! I'll fry you!"
The next second, the world channel was filled with voices condemning the magic conch.
Although most people were not optimistic about this mission, there were still a small number of players who found it interesting and went to Cheng Shaofeng to inquire about the details of the mission.
Among them, the two taciturn brothers, 'Dead Heart' and 'Destroying Heart', took on the task and went to a nearby city.
Cheng Shaofeng prepared food, clothes and some enchanted bullets for them.
People came one after another to take on the task, and Cheng Shaofeng gave them travel expenses.
A few sharp-eyed players found an unusual place on the base map.
"Do we need to go to the frontline battlefield to acquire the skills of soldiers and necromancers?"
"I remember there seemed to be one of our beta testers over there?"
