"Wooji!"
Some funny cries were going on.
The monster named Manic Boar had red eyes. It was obviously a pig, but it made a cow-like movement, kicking its hind hooves a few times, raising dust, and then rushed towards Luo Zhen.
That speed was neither fast nor slow. Even in the real world, Luo Zhen could easily avoid it, let alone now.
However, in the face of the wild boar's sudden advance, Luo Zhen did not try to dodge, but calmly stretched his hands to his waist.
There, there is a materialized pocket.
Luo Zhen took out a sharp flying needle from his pocket.
This is Luo Zhen's weapon.
In this world without magic, sword skills can be said to be the only means of combat.
The sword skills mentioned here are not just the skills used with the sword.
Whether you are using a knife, a gun, a stick or a stone hammer, in this SAO that emphasizes physical sense, as long as you make a preparatory action that is consistent with the corresponding action set by the system, you can trigger the skill and let the system adjust the character's movement and speed. Assist, perform superhuman skills that are usually difficult to achieve, and these skills are all called sword skills.
However, the so-called sword skill is not something that can be activated by activating it.
Although, in SAO, the number of sword skills can be said to be diverse. To activate a sword skill, in addition to making preparations that are consistent with the system settings, you must also meet the conditions of the weapon and skills.
For example, if Luo Zhen is equipped with a one-handed sword, and also puts the skill "One-Handed Sword" into the skill grid, and performs the preparatory action for the initial basic skill of the one-handed sword "Slant Slash", then the skill named "One-Handed Sword" will be The sword skill "Oblique Slash" can be successfully activated, and with the assistance of the system, the action can be completed and cause damage to the enemy.
For another example, if Luo Zhen is equipped with a scimitar, and also puts the skill "Scissor" into the skill grid, and then performs the preparatory action of the scimitar's initial basic skill "Predator", then it will be called "Predator" The sword skill can also be successfully activated.
And if you don't equip a specific weapon and use specific skills, even if you make qualified preparations, the sword skill will not be activated.
On the contrary, even if the weapons and skills are in compliance, but the preparation movements are not standard, the sword skill will not be activated.
This is the fighting technique of this world.
Of course, even without initiating sword skills, players can still use their bodies to make movements and use weapons to cause damage to monsters.
However, without system assistance, even if you make an attack that is exactly the same as the sword skill, the power, speed, and accuracy will not be comparable to when you activate the sword skill.
In addition, sword skills are different from skills and do not need to occupy skill grids. As long as the proficiency of weapon skills continues to improve, new sword skills will be unlocked when the trigger conditions are met.
For now, even if Luo Zhen is equipped with a one-handed sword and puts the "One-Handed Sword" skill into the skill grid, the sword skills that can currently be used are only the initial "Oblique Slash". As the proficiency of the One-Handed Sword skill increases and reaches the corresponding value, more and more powerful sword skills will be unlocked.
As for the improvement of proficiency, it will only be triggered when using skills, starting from 0 and not capping until it reaches 1000. By then, this skill will be fully learned and all sword skills will be unlocked.
However, this is a very difficult thing.
At least, during the closed beta period, Luo Zhen had never heard of anyone fully acquiring any skill.
If you want to fully acquire a skill, you have to play in SAO for at least a year and a half, and you have to be a top gamer to do it, right
By the way, in addition to weapon skills such as "One-Handed Sword" and "Scissor", there are various skills in this world.
For example, the previously mentioned production skills, daily skills, and other skills used to assist combat, etc. There are various skills in this game, all of which can have various effects. If its proficiency increases, it can become stronger and stronger in this field.
Of course, the prerequisite is to put the skill into the skill grid.
Only skills placed in the skill grid can take effect and proficiency will be improved. Otherwise, even if you have the skill, it is just a decoration. If you remove the skill originally set in the skill grid, it will even make it worse. The proficiency of this skill is reset to zero.
Therefore, how the player characters allocate their skills and what kind of skill combination they should form will greatly affect the character's combat effectiveness and future positioning.
The number of skill grids is naturally affected by level as mentioned above.
A level 1 character only has two skill slots.
At level 6, you will get a third skill grid.
At level 12, you get the fourth skill slot.
At level 20, you get the fifth skill grid.
Thereafter, every time you level up to 10 levels, you will gradually gain a skill grid.
Luo Zhen naturally only has two skill grids now, that is, he can use only two skills.
It is very easy to fill up these two skill grids.
Even if it is only level 1 now, players still have a variety of weapon skills and skills from other production series, and they can completely set their skills.
However, as a closed beta player, Luo Zhen knew.
“Set skills now and have to remove them later.”
After all, even though the skills are diverse, none of the ones players can use initially are considered rare.
Really rare skills can only be obtained by completing some secret tasks or meeting harsh conditions.
Therefore, Luo Zhen will not waste skill grids.
Now, in Luo Zhen's skill grid, there is only one skill.
〈Flying Sword〉.
As the name suggests, this is a throwing skill.
Compared with the various weapon skills, this skill is quite inconspicuous and was not taken seriously during the closed beta period.
The reason is simple.
Although as long as the props are allowed by the system, you can use this skill to throw and activate throwing sword skills. However, if the level of the thrown props is too low, the damage will be too small, and if the level is too high, the damage will be too small. It's too wasteful, because the props thrown out are almost all disposable and cannot be reused.
But this skill makes Luo Zhen put it down.
The reason is equally simple.
"I like the feeling of throwing money at people!"
Luo Zhen pulled the hand holding the flying needle behind his shoulder and made preparations for throwing.
"Zheng!"
A dazzling light suddenly lit up on the flying needle, painting it green.
This is the light effect produced when the sword skill is activated.
Luo Zhen used the skill of "Flying Sword" to activate its initial basic skill "Single Shot".
"call out!"
The next second, with the help of the system, Luo Zhen flashed his throwing weapon hand in the air, causing the flying needle to turn into a laser, which shot out at the speed of a bullet and hit the manic boar's neck.
"Pfft!"
Amidst the realistic sound of flesh tearing, the flying needle sank into the wild boar's neck, leaving a wound-like effect crack on it, causing the blood-like effect light to scatter like small red fragments.
"Wooji!"
The manic boar let out a mournful cry, and his whole body froze to the ground.
Soon...
"boom!"
Like broken glass, the boar turned into polygonal fragments and exploded.
At this moment, Luo Zhen experienced two changes.
One is that a window appears in front of him, which displays the experience points, Kol, and dropped materials that Luo Zhen gained from defeating the manic boar.
There is another one that only Luo Zhen himself can discover.
That is the change of soul.
After feeling a little weight added to his soul, Luo Zhen finally smiled.
