My players are grinding in the apocalypse

Central City is huge.

After the Clown King changed his clothes, he held the map given by Ye Cai inside. After walking for a long time, he found that he had only covered a small distance on the map. It would have taken a long time to walk while riding a Cerberus, so he simply took a taxi. .

"Master, go to the mysterious inheritance center."

The driver was a middle-aged ordinary man in his 40s with a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw the Clown King wearing a steel mask, he immediately nodded and bowed:

"Okay, okay~ Sir, please take a seat, we will be there soon."

"How much?"

"Hey! Aren't you going to offend us little people by saying this? When do the mysterious adults need to pay for riding in the car?"

The Clown King was happy at first, and then frowned.

"It's still as much as it should be. It's not easy to make any money these days."

"Don't dare!"

The driver waved his hand repeatedly, and the tram drove very fast, making little noise on the road, and the ride was comfortable.

If it wasn't in the game, the Clown King would have thought he was riding in some high-end car.

"Just take it if you want. I just came from the city below and want to ask you something."

"You can ask, but I, Lao Li, have been in Central City for more than 40 years, so I still have some knowledge."

For the 'Mysterious Master' to pay for the taxi, the driver seemed very happy, as if something extraordinary had happened to him.

The Clown King also took the opportunity to learn some basic information about Central City from the driver, so as not to lose his sight.

All the currencies used in Central City are crystals.

However, unlike the following cities, the crystal stones in Central City are all standard.

Crystal grains, crystal beads, crystal blocks.

Different sizes represent different amounts, and all have Central City's exclusive stamps on them. The internal notches can be seen in the sun.

The central city is huge, with many evolvers, from all sects. There is almost no distinction between unpopular and popular crystals, and all crystals are of equal value.

Unless some major events occur, the value of certain types of crystals will soar, and one-yuan crystals will be exchanged for two-yuan crystals with other attributes.

But extremely rare!

Under the control of the central city's financial sector, overall prices are very stable.

Because the crystals in the natural disaster base have no other function except to be handed over to the base, all the clown kings did not bring crystals with them when they came, so they had to ask Ye Cai to get some so as not to have no money at all.

Of course, it was not for nothing that Ye Cai prepared his identity and supplies. The Clown King also brought the skill seals and supplies that the three brothers urgently needed from the base.

Ye Cai asked him to bring many bottles of [Life Potion], saying that they would be of great use in their personal training circle.

Although he didn't go into details, the Clown King had a vague feeling that Ye Cai must be doing something big.

Having achieved a certain status in the central city, Ye Cai's circle of contacts was also very high.

"Sir, we're here."

The driver's voice brought the Clown King back from his thoughts.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

The Clown King paid the driver 5 yuan for the grain and said, "No need to look for it."

The driver was very happy.

This time, he hit 4 grains on the meter. Not only did he not give it away for free, he also earned 1 more grain, making 9 grains for all his health!

You can buy 5 kilograms of coarse rice for 1 grain in Central City, enough to feed a family of three for a day.

It was a pretty decent tip.

The Clown King stood outside a huge gray church. A needle-like protrusion on the top shot straight into the sky, and wisps of liquid-like green energy flowed down. It looked like it was drawing energy from the sky.

There are three weird three-dimensional symbols hanging at the door of the church. The Clown King knows that they symbolize the three energy systems of the mysterious major:

Acid, energy, chaos.

The overall architectural style is solemn and weird.

There were several people wearing trainee cult uniforms standing at the door.

One of them saw the clown king wearing a mask approaching and immediately trotted over with his waist bent:

"Sir, are you looking for someone or joining a religion? Can you let me see your identification?"

The corners of the Clown King's mouth raised slightly, and a burst of energy came from the code in his left hand.

"Cerberus, come to me."

Suddenly, a pink energy floated out of the void, forming the shape of a hell dog under his crotch.

Roar~

The hellhound shoots out flames from its nose and has a majestic aura.

Clown King: "Wang Chou, a member of the branch church, came to the main church to learn advanced skills."

"Please come with me."

When the other party saw the hellhound, he didn't even need to ask for his identity, and took the Clown King in to register. The staff inside were all respectful to the Clown King.

Even a little flattering.

One of the lobby attendants wearing a deep V-collar was ogling him frequently, as if he wanted to attract this genius evolutionist from the city below to take a fancy to him and then rise to the top.

The Clown King has no idea about this. That is totally impossible.

"Damn it, when will this game become more open? Hey! The NPC Toru is super cool!"

"MD dog planning is so damned!"

At this moment, he suddenly understood something inexplicable.

The Clown King riding a Cerberus registered his identity without any resistance. The fake identity Ye Cai applied for him had no problem at all and he got through easily.

He is a genius evolver from a small branch church in the city below.

After cultivating to the third level, he received skills taught by Dreger in his dream, granting him the ability to summon hellhounds, and then went to the main base in Central City to practice more advanced skills.

This set of rhetoric will have almost no flaws if special personnel are not sent to the cities below to check it carefully.

The registration staff had no doubts. After all, the Cerberus was right here. Could it be that Mr. Dreger could have misjudged the person?

The Clown King's status as a third-level evolver not only assigned him a house, but also received a monthly tribute. Of course, if he liked it, he could even take a service member back to enjoy himself at night.

"Good fellow, the third-level evolved person has 3,000 yuan of crystals as a monthly offering. This Christian sect is so rich!"

"Go to hell, Lord, I will become a hardcore Christian. Ahem, I'm just kidding."

This crystal does not have much effect for them, but turning it in to the base can be exchanged for a large amount of experience and iron coins. Upgrading it yourself is the real effect.

"However, after joining the Cross Church, you must complete tasks to obtain contribution points every month. Only when you reach the minimum standard can you receive the offerings normally. If it is not enough, you can only receive half."

"No, I still have to work for them?"

He came here to find trouble for the Christian Church, but he didn't expect that it would be a bit awkward to work for others first.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

He currently only knows some superficial functions of the internal structure of the Christian religion, but does not know the actual division of labor inside.

The first stop is to go to the skill training center.

Learn skills first!

He came here not only to create trouble for them, but also to obtain mysterious inherited skills.

People are good and bad, but skills are not.

The interior of the Cross Church was very spacious and grand, and he could run without any obstacles while riding the Cerberus. The low-level evolved people passing by bowed and gave way when they saw it.

Walk into the skill training center on the 4th floor unimpeded.

His sixth sense suddenly activated, and the information he felt from a powerful person suddenly made him cautious.

Inside, an old man in a wheelchair was explaining skills to a few new members.

"Crows are energy creations. Energy characterization is the process of creation. If you add some changes to the creation and give it a magic circle that generates healing energy, it will master new skills, like this."

An ordinary crow was dancing in his hand. As the energy in his hand was injected, a green rotating circle appeared on the crow's chest. The crow's wings flapped, and the healing energy covered everyone, sweeping away fatigue for everyone.

"If we enrich its original lightning attack ability, inject some new energy, and create an outward-extending magic circle, there will be an additional range-benefit effect that can cover teammates. This is called [Storm Spirit] .”

"Crows that master two or more skills are also called apostle crows, because crows at this level already have the foundation to withstand the main power bonus."

"Practice hard. When your apostle crow reaches its peak, it will unlock the crow's ultimate form."

"The new Iron Mask, what do you want to learn?"

The old man turned to look at the Clown King, and various energy phantoms flashed in his eyeballs, causing the crisis in the Clown King's heart to rise to the extreme in an instant!

His nano treasure-hunting robot was sent to the old man, and the feedback results were shocking!

The old man's energy is as deep as the ocean and has exceeded the limit of exploration!

The watch vibrated slightly, and four words popped up on the display: [Extreme danger! 】

This word did not pop up when they faced Zhao Rujiao, and the energy was traceable, but the crippled old man in front of them was evaluated like this by the nano treasure-hunting robot, which proved that his strength far exceeded Zhao Rujiao.

Zhao Rujiao is a fourth-level professional. According to the two judges, he can create purple secret balls at a young age, and he is already among the stronger ones.

‘My dear, isn’t this old man a special fifth-order evolver? ’

The Clown King almost broke down in sweat, swallowed his saliva and said, "Hello, I'll just learn from you."

The old man glanced at him and asked doubtfully: "You look nervous?"

"Uh." The Clown King also realized that something was wrong with his state at this time, and hurriedly adjusted his state and said:

"I was so fascinated by what you just explained. I feel that my understanding of this skill has reached a new level and I can create a stronger crow."

"Hahaha~ Yes, there are not many young people who like to listen to theories. The special training plan divides what to do at each step, but without the spirituality of understanding the skills step by step, the new generation of mysterious inheritors will The skills are all a bit dull, just like have you ever played a VR game? It’s the kind of skill that gets higher as you click on the level. Although it’s obvious that you’re getting stronger step by step, the skills are not spiritual.”

Clown King: "."

I'm reporting that there is an NPC in this game who wants to break the fourth wall!

Are you really yin and yang about our players?

However, the Clown King soon realized that their data was not what the old man said, because every time they used a skill point, their bodies would have two and a half more years of practice experience, making them stronger.

The kind of memory burned into the mind and body is unfalsified.

In other words, their skill point system is actually equivalent to giving them an acceleration hook, not a simple enhancement value.

The most obvious ones are weapons and armor usage skills such as [Two-Handed Blade], [Remote Expert], and [Shield Training]. Before learning, I was a noob, and after learning, I directly turned into a martial arts master.

Players can achieve their current combat effectiveness not only by numerical values, but also by skill points and so many years of practice experience, which have been engraved in muscle memory.

"Which faction are you majoring in, young man?"

The old man seemed to be very interested in him as a newcomer and asked proactively.

Clown King: "I have practiced the [Weakness Curse] and the derived [Weakness] skills better."

"Huh? There are very few people majoring in these two. Even the fourth-level mysterious professions, most of them have only scratched the surface. Come on, tell me how far you have gotten?"

The Clown King originally chose the [Mysterious] specialization in order to cooperate with the [Judge]'s [Words of Pain] series of skills to reduce the speed and resistance of enemies in the area.

It is an auxiliary judge's output, so I set both skills to the full level.

Reduces the enemy's movement speed and elemental resistance by a large amount.

Allowing him to easily kite large numbers of enemies.

Later, when the output was enough, he kept the skill points useless until he got the [Summon Cerberus] skill of the [Mysterious] specialization. He rushed the specialization gauge to 25 in one go, and then learned this mount skill.

With this skill, his kiting ability is greatly improved, and he can also let the Cerberus breathe fire to cooperate with him to deal damage, which is very comfortable.

At this time, seeing the old man's interest, he felt that he had to have a good chat with the old man.

This guy is so powerful, and if he teaches students here, he might just be like a sweeping monk from the Cross Cult.

'By building a closer relationship, I might be able to get more skills from him.'

"My practice is not bad, I am slightly proficient."

The old man was delighted when he heard this: "I've been studying these low-level skills for some years, so I can give you some pointers. Come on, give me a [Weakness Curse], and let me see how good you are."

"Okay, then... let's show off our embarrassment!"

Although the Clown King has reached the full level, he still doesn't think he has the ability to do anything in front of such a powerful NPC.

At this level, you have to break through the limit of level 10 and level 8 at least, right?

Look at the summons of Hades, which ones are not limit-breaking +5 levels?

He took a deep breath and formed seals with his hands.

"Curse of Weakness!"

A huge red energy net came out from the hand and hit the old man in the wheelchair. Then green energy light appeared from it and was engraved on the outside of the old man's body.

Although it does not cause damage, it will reduce a large amount of external resistance of the old man's body and reduce his speed by more than half!

The old man raised his stiff arms, feeling the weakness outside his body and the complexity of the energy network.

It's only stronger than what he used himself!

The mouth that was smiling suddenly froze

"No, young man, do you call this a slight mastery?"
