The Truth of Magic

Chapter 210 Predicting Luck (33)

Just seeing this scene, Zhao Xu didn't feel guilty.

Having experienced the underground Naraku Temple, he already understood that he should immediately go back and search for various clues when encountering problems.

Immediately, Zhao Xu turned around and ran back. Sure enough, where he came down in the first place, the entrance that had no cover at first had been sealed.

It can also see the outside sunlight like a window disappearing into the darkness.

Zhao Xu followed the way he came step by step, and stepped up the steps again.

When he first entered the pit, it was already covered by the darkness created by magic, which also extinguished his ever-bright fire that he had created with 50 gold coins and the second-level spell "Immortal Flame".

The torch cannot regain its light until it is removed from the surroundings shrouded in magical darkness.

At this moment, Zhao Xu could only rely on the "eye of ebony" spell to see through the darkness of magic.

If an ordinary priest casts the second-level spell "Dark Vision", it will only allow him to have vision in that dark environment, and he still cannot see the magic darkness.

So sometimes, under certain circumstances, low-level spells are not necessarily weaker than high-level spells.

It wasn't until Zhao Xu reached the highest step that he realized that the entrance he had just entered had been silently closed by a stone door.

And there is a sentence engraved on the stone gate——

"Only the strong-willed and strong who have passed the test can chant the following spells and start the journey of long-distance voyage."

Below the sentence is a password written in Dragon Language.

Zhao Xu did not recite the prayer command rashly.

pass the test?

Among Arthur's three major saves, they are "fortitude saves" representing physical strength, "will saves" representing mental firmness, and finally "reflection saves" representing agility.

Zhao Xu's "will save" bonus is level 6, of which level 4 comes from occupational bonuses and level 2 comes from perception adjustments.

This level 6 bonus, superimposed on his specific "performance level", is the final test result.

The system will quantify his "performance level" in the saving test into a rating of 1-20.

So his basic bonus (level 6), superimposed performance (level 1-20), as long as it exceeds the difficulty level of the saving throw, he can pass the test.

This means that he has passed all will saves below difficulty level 5, unless the system determines that his performance evaluation is a big failure like "Level 1".

And if the difficulty exceeds level 26, even if he performs well, he is likely to kneel. Unless the evaluation of the performance level happens to be a perfect 20th level, there is hope of a comeback.

However, Arthur's performance of level 1 or level 20 does not mean inevitable success or inevitable failure. There is a deeper level of metaphysics in it.

Now that Zhao Xu was looking at that sentence, he actually understood it from the bottom of his heart.

When he uttered the "password" incantation, he himself would receive a will attack.

If he fails the next immunity, he will naturally go back home.

If he succeeds, the disappearing road will appear in front of him.

After realizing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, he is a Sinnoh double cultivator.

The mage itself has low reflexes, low tenacity, and high willpower. For example, his current reflex save comes from the professional ability of level 1.

It is very different from the 4th-level professional will save of the mage.

Combined with the Tier 2 reward brought by Zhao Xu's own 2 points of perception adjustment, it is not too much to say that he is the one with the highest will save among the current Arthur players.

Many control spells, such as the nine-ring spell "Group Monster Immobilization", if ordinary people do not have spell resistance, they basically rely on the will to save the hard cap.

For example, the spell "Law: Deterrence" does not require willpower to be able to forcibly immobilize the body regardless.

The problem Zhao Xu was facing now was that when he himself made the test later, the performance of his will fluctuated.

There are some things that everyone is already familiar with, such as the "climbing" skill, you can get a stable "level 10", and even be patient, the system will give a "level 20" evaluation.

But Zhao Xu's will immunity had a lot to do with his physical and mental state at the time, as well as whether he slept well last night, or even whether he had been beaten in the previous moment.

Therefore, in many cases, the results of the "level 1-20" of one's own "performance level" cannot be controlled.

But the previous "will save" bonus that will not change, as a base, can be temporarily increased.

So Zhao Xu once used spells to stack his knowledge (mystery) skill bonus in the forest of deceitful words to a level beyond the player's imagination. "

At this time, the mage who was invisible at the beginning noticed that the cave had been closed by the stone gate, and understood that the player who went down to the trial had come to a dead end, and the whole trial officially started.

He shook his head, "You said that if he finds out, no matter how many Will save bonuses he stacks for himself, the resulting difficulty will naturally increase by five levels according to his current level. In other words, he will always have only a 75% chance of passing. Are you feeling hopeless?"

The farmer took out a long-stemmed pipe from his pocket, put it lightly on his lips, and took a deep breath with enjoyment, with a choking sound.

"This is also to let him know that the mage's pure numerical stacking will eventually encounter the existence of ignoring the immunity. At that time, he may understand the subtlety of fate, and it will also help him learn those things that can change luck and various performances in the future." Spell."

"It's not easy to change luck. How many of those nine-ring mages haven't mastered it? Even if it's the priests' top nine-ring magic technique 'picking fate', few priests who choose the goddess' fate" field can do it. "The mage retorted, and he was optimistic that the other party would be able to pass.

"Who knows for sure." The farmer turned his body slightly so that he could lie more comfortably on the armchair.

But there was still envy in his eyes.

During the four inspections of attack, skill, attribute, and immunity, it is possible to perform two "performances", and then take one of the better ones as the result of the nine-ring magic spell, which makes many nine-ring mages drooling.

After mastering this spell, he will not be teased by fate like this. "

At this time, Zhao Xu, who was only separated by a wall and didn't know what the outside world was discussing, was thinking about how much he had to increase the level 6 will save bonus to ensure that he could pass this test steadily.

The easiest way, of course, is for him to cast the second-level spell "Owl's Wisdom" once, which can temporarily increase his perception attribute by 4 points, and also bring a Tier 2 bonus to the will save.

The duration of this spell is one minute per caster level, and finally about five or six minutes. Although it is not long for him, it is enough in the short term.

But before Zhao Xu started, he still searched the stone gate honestly, trying to find more clues.

Having mastered the "intuitive action" spell, he is not afraid of encountering any sudden problems at this time, anyway, he can open a distance of 7 meters at any time.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's fingers reached into the gap between Shimen and the door frame.

After he groped around, he found that there were hollow characters carved there.

Having mastered Arthur's common language, he naturally spelled out the characters one by one according to the shape of the characters, and then formed a sentence——

Nothing more than five.

Zhao Xu withdrew his hand abruptly and stared intently at the mysterious stone gate in front of him.

This sentence is the characteristic of that demiplane.

Therefore, the number of people involved was strictly suppressed to no more than 5 people.

This means that for the password in front of him, the difficulty of saving will always be 5 levels above his will saving?

Of course, it doesn't make any sense for him to stack.

But as long as his performance exceeds level 5, he can pass smoothly.

Zhao Xu knows that the reason why the performance of adventurers is divided into 1-20 levels is based on big data statistics. For example, if the performance is 100 times, the worst 5 times will be set as 1st level, and the better 5 times will be set as 1st level. 2nd stage performance.

Naturally, the 5 strongest performances are at level 20.

Therefore, the performance bonuses of the 1-20th order are evenly distributed.

It meant that Zhao Xu remained in the same state, and if he recited that spell 20 times, he would fail about 5 times.

From big data, his pass rate is only 75%.

If two people come here, they both fall into the 25% probability range of failure at the same time, which is only about 6%.

Only those who came alone like Zhao Xu would be restrained.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is also possible for him to issue a 5-20 rating. So most losers, who come here and then go home, dare not complain.

After all, it's not about throwing the dice for them to gamble, but for them to really play themselves.

At this moment, facing this scene, Zhao Xu could only sigh softly.

However, he has mastered the second-ring spell - "Preview Luck", so he doesn't need to work hard.

It's not like the nine-ring spell "picking fate", it can be selected from two future "performance levels" every time in each round.

The spell "Preview Luck" can only be chosen once by him.

But that's enough.

Zhao Xu immediately took out a dice made of gold that cost 20 gold coins, threw it under the steps, and began to chant a spell.

Immediately, the golden dice turned into a faint golden light, and then disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the power of fate directly blessed Zhao Xu's body, and his eyes faintly shone with a golden light.

Zhao Xu turned around immediately and began to recite the "password" from Shimen.

Then Zhao Xu saw two golden afterimages appearing in front of him.

Imitate him in the future to perform will saves!

Immediately afterwards, he saw that a future self's "performance evaluation" was the third level of failure.

And another future self's "performance rating" is a successful 10th order, which is just above the upper limit.

Zhao Xu concentrated immediately, and the two afterimages disappeared in an instant, but the successful afterimage that Zhao Xu chose felt back to Zhao Xu.

He acted directly on his feelings.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia conducts a will saving test, and the result is 6 (fixed) + 10 (this performance) = 16, which exceeds the 11th level of difficulty and passes the saving test. 】

The sound of "rumbling" also came from behind Zhao Xu at this time.

He looked back, and at the end of the dark road below, a doorway that didn't exist before slowly emerged, and there was a light inside.

Road, come back.
