Chapter 17 Epiphany
Xiao Jie hurriedly opened the skill bar and checked it.
【Knife Weapon Proficiency (Introduction)
Passive effect: When using a knife weapon, the knife drawing speed is increased by 10%, and the attack accuracy is increased by 10%.
Skill introduction: You have some experience in using knife weapons. You will become more comfortable using such weapons in combat and be better able to use such weapons in combat.
This skill is also a necessary prerequisite for learning sword fighting skills, exercises, secret arts, and mysteries. 】
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel happy after reading the description of the skill. He really made the right choice by choosing the obscene development.
So that’s it… That’s it…
Any game designer will design a game route for his game that allows players to grow reasonably.
The simplest design is to make the monsters weaker than players of the same level, so that players can continuously improve their levels by defeating monsters, become stronger, and then challenge higher-level monsters.
A slightly more complicated one will add various professional tasks to the game, or add a talent system. In addition to killing monsters, players also need to complete these specific contents to obtain the completed strength improvement.
As for the game in front of us, it is obvious that its game growth path is more free and more hidden.
Through this newly acquired skill, Xiao Jie quickly deduced the reasonable development route for new players in this game.
Players learn basic weapon skills through work in the village. Different jobs should correspond to different weapon categories.
For blacksmithing, it should be a hammer, for cutting wood, it should be a tomahawk, for chopping wood, it should be a knife, for farming... maybe it should be a long-handled weapon.
With weapon skills, you can learn the corresponding combat skills to improve your strength.
When you work, you can earn copper coins. With the money, you can buy some basic equipment.
And with equipment and skills, it would be relatively safe to venture out of the village.
Yes, that’s exactly it!
At this moment, Xiao Jie's thoughts became extremely clear.
Although there is no clear game guidance for this set of gameplay, in theory players can also directly go out of the village to fight monsters to upgrade, and maybe they can also learn weapon skills while fighting monsters.
But there is no doubt that the route I discovered is the best solution for ordinary newcomers.
Xiao Jie swung his knife to chop wood again. After a few cuts, he could clearly feel that both the controllability and accuracy of the knife had improved.
This improvement is very weak and may not be felt by ordinary players, but for professional players like Xiao Jie who pay attention to every detail of the game operation, the feeling is very clear.
Originally, when cutting down a tree, even if you cut the same place, the impact point of the knife will be somewhat deviated. This is just like the crosshair of a shooting game. The impact point of the knife cannot be completely controlled. This thing is not based on skill. can make up for it.
But now, Xiao Jie is able to land each knife exactly where he aims.
Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!
Firewood +1+2+1+1+2!
The more he chops, the smoother he becomes. Xiao Jie's movements of pressing the mouse seem to have some wonderful rhythm and rhythm, flowing as smoothly as clouds and flowing water.
In an instant, a tree was chopped down into a bare pole.
He went straight to the next dead tree.
The more Xiao Jie chops, the more he feels and becomes more rhythmic. The more he swings the knife, the more he opens and closes it. No matter how high he lifts it or how fast he swings it, he can accurately cut down the branches he wants to chop.
One bundle, two bundles, three bundles... the firewood in the backpack accumulated at an alarming speed.
The right hand that slides the mouse seems to be exerting force along with it.
Seeing his character's sword-swinging movements becoming more and more fierce and rapid, Xiao Jie felt a faint rhythm in his heart. He vaguely felt that something was about to happen and the calm lake surface would be broken.
But what exactly is it?
It was clearly within reach but seemed to be separated by a thin veil. He stared at the screen, trying to find the slightest opportunity in the details of the game.
until--
brush! He slashed it with his sword again.
The knife was raised quite high and fell extremely cleanly.
Just hear a click.
The blade actually chopped off all three branches extending from the left side. .
He chopped down three dry sticks with one knife. Looking at the fractures, all three branches were cut at the same root. The cuts were smooth and regular.
[System prompt: Great success in cutting firewood - firewood +3! 】
[System prompt: Your ‘enlightenment’ state has been triggered, and you have obtained an ‘enlightenment’! 】
Suddenly, a golden light flashed above Xiao Jie's character's head, and a golden icon appeared in the center of the screen.
Written on it are two golden words—Epiphany!
Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment when he saw these two words, and then he felt excited.
He has been wondering what the [Enlightenment] BUFF he asked for in the ancestral hall is for, and how does this enlightenment effect take effect?
I didn’t expect that it would happen so naturally in the end. Look at the shimmering golden pattern in the center of the screen.
Xiao Jie couldn't wait to click on it.
[Words of epiphany: While constantly working to chop wood, you mastered the knack of splitting an object into two, and thus understood the combat skill - [Break in two].
[Cut in two with one sword (combat skill)
Applicable weapons: one-handed knife, one-handed sword.
Combat skill consumption: 50 stamina.
Skill effect 1: Causes 300% weapon slashing damage, and triggers a 'broken limb' effect.
Skill effect 2:? ? ? ? (Not unlocked, requires internal strength to activate).
Skill description: A combat skill that the unknown swordsman suddenly realized while chopping wood. He stood still after taking a stance, and then suddenly drew out the sword, delivering a fierce slash with both speed and precision.
It is said that the blade used to chop branches can also easily cut off the limbs of living creatures. 】
Haha, I finally have combat skills. This ancestor asked for it in vain.
Xiao Jie couldn't wait to use his newly learned skills on the dead tree in front of him.
I saw his character put on a posture with a knife hidden behind his back, and slashed out in an instant. The blade drew a sharp arc in the air, and instantly split a branch as thick as a rolling pin into two. The branch seemed to have not reacted yet. , paused in mid-air for a moment before landing on the ground.
handsome!
He tried it twice more, and quickly became familiar with the power, speed, and attack range of this skill. This combat skill requires a 0.5-second charging forward. After charging, you can wait for the opportunity without taking action. The sword was drawn out nearly twice as fast as a normal slash, making it difficult to dodge.
And after seeing the description of the 'limb loss' effect, Xiao Jie was very doubtful that monsters in this game could really have part of their limbs chopped off.
Xiao Jie has also played games with the effect of severed limbs before, such as severed hands and feet, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the monster's combat effectiveness.
Although this move does not have any exaggerated sound and light effects, it is simple and practical, and the sword is fast enough. It is definitely very practical for early stage close combat skills.
But learning it in the game is not enough.
It also needs to be mastered in reality.
After returning to the village and logging off, Xiao Jie couldn't wait to experience it in reality.
After searching the house, I only found a kitchen knife.
Okay, just use a kitchen knife.
He found another cardboard box and placed it on the stool as a target.
He took a stance and swung his sword out.
Click, the knife cut halfway in and got stuck there.
Damn, why don’t you feel anything at all? This is just ordinary chopping.
Xiao Jie slashed a few more times, cutting a good cardboard box into pieces, but it was not as sharp and cool as cutting it in half in the game.
No, it seems that this ability is not that simple to use.
How did you use the kite to turn over?
Yes, that time it was at the critical moment of rebirth that the instinct came out.
Xiao Jie replaced the carton with a new one.
Standing in front of the cardboard box, Xiao Jie concentrated on trying to find the picture in his mind.
Picture that red sports car approaching quickly.
Recalling the terrifying feeling at that moment.
The feeling of fear gradually came to my mind. At that moment, I felt like I was facing despair and helplessness in the face of death. In the chaotic memory, the image of Yin Yue swinging a knife in the wind suddenly appeared in my mind.
That’s it!
He opened his eyes suddenly and swung the kitchen knife in his hand vigorously. The blade drew a sharp arc in the air and slashed across the carton.
The cardboard box still remained intact and seemed undamaged, but it only remained intact for a moment. The next second, the cardboard box split into two and fell to the floor with a clang.
Xiao Jie picked up the box that was split in half and looked at the knife edge. It was smooth and without a trace of stubble, as if it had been cut with a cutting machine.
Xiao Jie looked at the kitchen knife in his hand and felt extremely excited for a moment. This knife was actually swung by himself?
Yes, this is power. Although this power is still very weak, it only takes time.
What will be chopped off with this knife will no longer be the cardboard box, but Liu Qiang's head.
