Chapter 162 The second golden skill

The girl sitting on the vine at the top of his head, swinging her boots, suddenly said:

"I think it would be better if you think it over clearly."

He looked up and said, "Why? Anyway, the skills given by the system are all random. Can't you wait until the optional list comes out and then choose the skills?"

However, Yuan Ximu shook her head:

"Although this is only the speculation of a small number of people, from my personal experience...if you think clearly about what skills you want and work hard in this direction, you will have a higher chance of success. Acquire skills you wouldn’t normally have access to—”

With that said, Yuan Ximu showed her skill list to Lin Huaien: "Look, I have two gold skills and one silver skill. They are basically what I wanted at the beginning - even rare ones like [Magic Communication Band] Skill……"

"If I hadn't thought about what I was going to do in the dungeon from the beginning, according to the rules of a normal explorer, I should have obtained a profession or skill like a dancer or a bard, right?"

"Dancer or bard..."

Lin Huaien was silent for a moment.

Indeed, although the current Yuan Ximu is very compatible with her "Planeswalker", if you consider Yuan Ximu's acting skills and her identity as "Xiyang Xixue", her first golden skills should be those superb acting skills That's right.

But the first golden skill she really acquired was [Breath Condensation], which is a bad thing in the scout system.

But it was precisely because of this skill that the monsters passing by Yuan Ximu ignored her presence and rushed directly towards Lin Huaien.

"So, you went to the [Magic Communication Band] from the beginning? What did you do?"

He gradually understood what Yuan Ximu meant.

Hearing his inquiry, Yuan Ximu smiled smugly: "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just added all my magic power and didn't use any of my mage skills."

"In addition, I often surf the Internet in the dungeon, shoot videos, and upload the edited videos."

"In this way, one person slowly reaches level 10, and then one gains the ultra-rare golden skill of [Magic Communication Channel]."

Yuan Ximu tilted her head, looked at Lin Huai'en and said, "So, even if you don't have a clear goal like me, I suggest you first think about which ability you want to improve - speed, strength, or defense."

“Even if this ‘observer effect’ does not exist, from the perspective of ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’, if you continue to exercise your ability in a certain aspect, it will be easier to acquire related skills.”

"What's missing should be supplemented..." Lin Huai'en closed his eyes, which really reminded him.

But the problem is, even so, he doesn't know how to defeat Li Muen.

"[Superspeed] is the core skill that can make people become white cards..."

"'The only martial arts in the world is fast' - this golden skill is difficult to defeat from the front."

"Increase defense...but this is not what a sword master does...and even if you choose defensive skills, it is only a short-term emergency for a lone wolf explorer like me whose tactical direction is 'guerrilla'."

"Since you can only have a short-term emergency, you can't invest too much talent points, otherwise it will be a loss-making business no matter how you look at it."

"So, I can only compete with Li Mu'en in terms of speed... But [Divine Speed] is the most outstanding speed skill. Unless I obtain a golden speed skill of the same level, there is no way to compare with it. …”

"In the final analysis, if you want to use a new skill, it is quite impractical to compete with Li Mu'en who has [Super Speed]. Li Mu'en's [Super Speed] skill is at least level 4.0, and may even reach shallow level. The cap value of the level dungeon is 5.0.”

"No matter what kind of skills I acquire, the level is only 1.0 at the beginning, and can be raised to 1.6 at most. Then I have to raise it to level 29 to raise the new skill to 4.0..."

"There are less than 10 days until the crew finishes filming. My current level is level 22. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to rise to level 29..."

so……

Lin Huai'en looked at his skill list and suddenly thought deeply——

"So, no matter what the new skill is, it can only further develop my swordsmanship skills and enhanced perception ability based on my original ability system..."

"Only in this way can I defeat Li Mu'en with dignity..."

Looking at Lin Huaien's thoughtful expression, Yuan Ximu nodded with some satisfaction.

"It seems you figured it out." She jumped down from the vine.

He stepped lightly on the wall and fell to the ground from a height of more than two meters.

Judging from the professional characteristics of Breath Condensation and Planeswalker, she should have a lot of bonus points in terms of neural reflexes.

The girl patted her cloak and seemed to want to leave. Lin Huai'en couldn't help but wonder: "Where are you going?"

"Back at camp, I found something very interesting."

The black-haired girl wearing a monocle raised her index finger to her lips and made a silent gesture to Lin Huai'en.

Quirky.

Then she hummed and skipped towards the camp.

Lin Huai'en looked at her back and decided to ignore her.

After being in contact with Yuan Ximu for so long, he knew very well that there were not many monsters that could harm her so close to the camp.

After all... her profession specializes in escaping and hiding...

"Planeswalker".

.

Lin Huai'en closed his eyes tightly and placed his hands on the gray-green fury in the form of a samurai sword.

His previous idea of ​​using the rib structure to defeat Li Muen came from a technique of the katana called "Iai", which is also commonly known as the art of drawing swords.

Unlike the fierceness shown in the manga's Batojutsu, the Iaijutsu in reality is a counterattack technique known for its delicateness and changeability.

No matter what angle the enemy attacks from, it can be cracked first and first.

Quite a bit of the meaning of "keeping the same unchanged in response to all changes".

In Lin Huaien's mind, it was the most suitable technique for him to deal with Li Muen.

"If possible, the first active golden skill would be the Sword Drawing Technique..."

He closed his eyes and thought silently.

After all, in many fictional works, the art of drawing swords is an extremely cool and exciting swordsmanship. It has the characteristics of being unexpected and shockingly lethal.

The most important thing is that even from a realistic point of view, mastering the Iaijutsu is a good way to deal with sneak attacks.

In some cases, the "cold start" feature of Iaijutsu is also very suitable for dealing with attacks from most directions.

Therefore, after talking with Hara Yumu about the future direction of his skills, he chose "Iaijutsu" as the focus of his next training.

He first returned to the camp and purchased some spices and bait meat from several Windrunner animal trainers.

Then, he returned to the "Twilight Forest", found a flat open space, and threw the bait meat with special spices at his feet.

He deliberately reduced the input of spices until he confirmed that the performance of the spices was not much different from what the animal trainers said, then he increased the amount of spices to the normal level little by little.

Then he closed his eyes and waited for the attack from the tree leopard.

This not only trained his Iaijutsu, but also improved his control over enhanced perception.

As long as he closes his eyes and reduces the input of visual information, he can maintain the effect of enhanced perception for more than 1 minute.

"Since it's difficult for vision to keep up with Li Muen's movement speed, we might as well give up vision altogether."

He thought silently and felt something flowing out of his nose, dripping onto the back of his hand, making it slippery.

It's a nosebleed.

He knew this very well.

Because he has maintained the effect of "enhanced perception" for more than 5 minutes this time.

Perhaps it was because the strong smell of blood on his body aroused the surrounding tree leopards, and they did not dare to attack him in a short period of time.

But Lin Huai'en also didn't dare to stop his skills.

Because it's late at night now.

He stood in darkness with no lights around him.

Without enhanced perception, he didn't know if he could still turn on the light in the dark——

What's more, even if the light is turned on, it will take a while for his eyes to adjust to the light, and the tree leopard rushing from behind him is enough to tear his body apart.

So he wasn't in a hurry.

Through enhanced perception, he had sensed the impatience of the tree leopards from the distant roars.

"One, two...three, four...five..."

Soon... According to previous experience, as long as the number reaches six, the tree leopards will definitely start attacking.

Is this related to their biological habits, or "Dunbar's number"?

All in all, five is the social limit of tree leopards. Beyond this number, they will start fighting among themselves because they cannot distinguish each other.

Finally, the voice of the sixth tree leopard joined in from a distance.

First the one on the far right, then the one on the left, the two at the back, and finally the one directly in front——

In an instant, all the tree leopards rushed towards Lin Huai'en!

finally come!

The sword skill clearly marks the threat distance and threat sequence of the five tree leopards.

After Lin Huai'en devoted all his perception to hearing, he discovered somewhat unexpectedly that after killing about four or five tree leopards, he also gained the ability to judge tree leopards' swordsmanship under hearing.

Auditory-guided swordsmanship skills cannot accurately judge the enemy's attack intentions like visually-guided swordsmanship skills, and may even be interfered by various noises.

But even so, it's enough!

He took advantage of the situation and drew out the Gray Wrath. The unsheathed sword looked like an inconspicuous black branch in the dim dusk forest.

This branch cut through the night, brushed against the flesh and blood of the tree leopards, and took away their lives.

He took a step to the left, avoided the attack of the first tree leopard, and killed the second tree leopard that attacked. At the same time, through the movement of his footsteps, he entered the blind spot of other tree leopards——

The attack of the first tree leopard blocked the attack route of the two tree leopards behind him. After killing the second tree leopard, only the third tree leopard was left in front of him.

He used his cassock to chop off its head with a top-down blow, and then turned to deal with the remaining three tree leopards.

The collar is back, the eyes are flat and blue...

Two consecutive attacks to the left and right pushed aside the bodies of the two tree leopards. Then he used a straight slash to hit the last tree leopard's neck. Move your steps, turn to the side of the tree leopard on the left, and attack it, so that the tree leopard on the right cannot bite and cover your companions...

Finally, there is the belated arrival of the sixth tree leopard...

Lin Huai'en waved the gray fury and inserted the cursed blade in the form of a katana back into the scabbard.

Among the corpses on the ground, there were six more tree leopard corpses.

Only then did he open his eyes.

At the same time, he suddenly knelt on the ground.

My head was terribly dizzy.

"Damn... Isn't it too difficult to maintain enhanced perception for more than 10 minutes... even with your eyes closed..."

After all, in addition to the most taxing vision, his sense of touch, taste, and smell will also become extremely sensitive.

This also increases the load on the brain.

"However, fortunately, the dizziness of the brain will not trigger the [Scar of Pain]..."

"And after getting used to enduring pain, my tolerance for dizziness has also increased a lot..."

"It's just that errors caused by dizziness are still unavoidable..."

Lin Huai'en looked at the blood marks on his hands and smiled bitterly.

After three consecutive days of crazy leveling, he finally reached level 25, which was originally the level he should have reached at the eighth level - the "dawn level". As a result, with the experience bonus, he quickly crossed level 22. ~24 this stage.

The 1.8 talent points obtained from levels 22 to 24 were also added to thinking memory, neural reflexes and enhanced perception.

Now his thinking memory and neural reflexes have both reached 3.0 points.

The enhanced perception has also been upgraded to level 2.2.

Compared with the effect at level 1.0, when used at full strength, the duration reaches 2.2 seconds.

And, under his conscious control, he can reduce the sensitivity of one of the five senses.

"Otherwise... even if I close my eyes, I won't be able to make the 'enhanced perception' last for more than 10 minutes..."

Lin Huai'en smiled bitterly and began to check the newly acquired golden skills.
