Chapter 921 Cornerstone potential, all roads lead to Rome!
The gray-black cornerstone space began to extend, gradually occupying the entire field of vision.
Compared with the first time, the loading time this time is longer, which seems to remind users from the side that they must be in a relatively safe space.
Looking at the laggy scene around him, Sumo simply sat down and continued to think deeply.
The first gain brought by the route is indeed good. Let’s not talk about the obvious attribute bonuses. The special ability of the scavengers to save money and food has greatly increased the consumption of the territory’s material reserves. Slow down and the food saved can definitely last another month.
But compared to the more powerful gains that may be brought by other routes, which are also about the same points, the cornerstone of the technology route does not seem to be strong, and the further you go, the more likely you are to be left behind.
Is this the result the game wants to see?
Let all creatures chase a more powerful route?
Thinking of the scene of a hundred schools of thought contending in the trailer, Sumo thought and stared at the foundation stone rising under his feet.
I took a step earlier, and now I am standing on the cornerstone of human technological civilization.
And because no free action points were obtained, the foundation stone at the rear is still hidden under the water.
Only the seven foundation stones appearing in front are firmly above the water.
"These...represent different routes?"
Suma tried to focus his sight, and an invisible light curtain appeared next to the stone.
[The cornerstone of the scavenger route (lv1)]
[Current status]: Unlocked
[Current attribute gain]: None
[Current ability gain]: None
[Required for action]: None
"Cornerstone already unlocked?"
Without hesitation, he took a step forward and stepped on the cornerstone of the scavenger route.
Sure enough, it was similar to when I chose the cornerstone of the route before.
As the water trembled, Sumo immediately saw two new foundation stones appearing in front of the foundation stone under his feet.
Looking at the first piece, the light curtain pops up.
[The cornerstone of the scavenger route (lv2)]
[Current Status]: Locked
[Cornerstone Gain]: Attribute type
[Bonus Overview]: Physique +1
[Required for Action]: "1" Free Route Action Points/"1" Scavenger Route Action Points
"It seems that my guess is correct. These classified routes are not only for players to gain experience upgrades and improve attributes. Lords can also obtain them. After the action point, enter here to continue directional improvement, generating all player buffs for the entire route."
Directly enhancing the overall integrity of an entire entity is actually a very scary change in the game.
If you are not careful, the overall strength will exceed that of the version, resulting in an unbalanced impact.
Putting it in the wasteland also illustrates the importance of route improvement.
If the level of this cornerstone can be quickly improved, even the most common scavenger's overall attributes after obtaining the gain may be able to completely overwhelm those players who follow the rare route.
Very reasonable.
A first-level player who has perfectly avoided a certain rare route can completely defeat dozens of level players on an ordinary route.
At the same time, it also illustrates another thing from the side.
Although the strength of the route partly depends on the innate strength, the competition between the two later is the speed of development between the two. Whoever can raise his level first will have the advantage.
Thinking about this, Sumo looked at the second scavenger cornerstone.
[The cornerstone of the scavenger route (lv2)]
[Current Status]: Locked
[Cornerstone Buff]: Ability Type
[Buff Overview]: Iron Foot Plate (Foot flexibility is enhanced and can carry more pressure transmission.)< br>
[Required for action]: "1" free route action point/"1" scavenger route action point
As expected, the current improvement of one point is divided into two different routes.
It is a direct and clear attribute bonus that can truly let the players of each route feel the effects of this wave of enhancements. It can also be applied in different situations and is a universal choice.
The other type is an alternative ability-based attribute bonus, and everyone may have different feelings.
Just like this "iron foot plate", scavengers who like to travel across mountains and rivers may be ecstatic and call out the version answer. However, scavengers who like to wander in a fixed place may secretly cry out for regret and miss the opportunity to strengthen.
The game gives this choice to the lord, and the meaning is obvious.
“Are you asking me to match professions according to the needs of the territory?”
Sumo nodded secretly, somewhat understanding.
Scavengers who purely pursue attributes are literally "fierce" in the later stages. With sufficient physical fitness, they can usually perform their own tasks, and at critical moments they can transform into possessors. Soldiers with good fighting ability come to participate in the battle, which has the effect of changing the situation of the battle.
Scavengers who pursue various strange abilities are another route. Their combat effectiveness may not be as strong as players who simply increase attributes, but in other weird aspects, it is very likely that due to the combination of abilities, , producing unexpected surprises.
There is no clear conclusion about which one is more important, who is weaker and who is stronger.
“When the specific route is improved, we can investigate and investigate it with the scavengers in the territory. Anyway, it is these people who will enjoy the effect in the end. If I follow my own wishes, it will be easy for an outsider to teach an expert how to do things.”
"The same goes for other routes. You can discuss it in private before each upgrade."
Sumo wrote down this idea in his mind.
The reward of entering the Cornerstone Space this time was greater than he imagined.
Not only the choice and method of the subsequent development of each route have been strengthened to have a clearer understanding, but also the degree of control of the lord over the route and the matching and guidance of the professions in the territory are also particularly important.
Of course, Soma has not forgotten the serious matter of entering the Cornerstone Space.
After returning to the original foundation and stepping on the cornerstone of "Chef Apprentice".
Needless to talk about the first attribute bonus. After selection, all players who choose this route will receive an overall bonus of one plus talent.
There is nothing new about it, but you will never go wrong after choosing it.
At the second ability, Sumo's eyes lit up slightly.
[Foundation Stone of Chef Apprentice Route (lv2)]
[Current Status]: Locked
[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability type
[Benefit Overview]: First Taste: Sweet (making food increases the aroma of finished food by 25%)
[Required for action]: "1" free route action point/"1" chef apprentice route action point
What is the concept of a 25% increase in fragrance?
Soma did not have a clear understanding.
But one thing is certain, a territory with a large number of people cannot expect to send cooks to fight in wartime, right?
Instead of giving these people attribute bonuses that they hardly use, it is better to choose abilities that are more suitable for their jobs.
Between the bonus of a little talent and the bonus of this ability, there is no need to consider it at all.
Stepping forward, standing on the lv2 cornerstone of the chef apprentice's ability selection, the water waves under his feet began to tremble slightly.
After about a few seconds, everything calmed down.
But in front of the cornerstone at Soma's feet, two new cornerstones emerged leading to the distance.
[Cook Apprentice Route Cornerstone (lv3)] [Current Status]: Locked
[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability Type
[Gain Overview]: Second Flavor: Spicy (Create food so that the finished food has a weak effect of improving bone strength)
[Required for Action]: "1" Free Route Action Points/"1" Chef Apprentice Route Action Points
[Cook Apprentice Route Cornerstone (lv3)]
[Current Status]: Locked
[Cornerstone Gain]: Ability Type
[Bonus Overview]: Qixiang (making food, increasing the aroma of finished food by 10%)
[Required for action]: "1" free route action point/"1" chef apprentice route action point
"After selecting the ability cornerstone, the subsequent cornerstones derived will only be abilities?"
Another new piece of information.
The chef apprentice at level 1 chooses the ability direction to upgrade to level 2, and cannot see the attribute enhancement at level 3.
If you want to choose the attribute upgrade route in the future, you must start again from the beginning.
This is not difficult to understand.
The further you go, the more attribute points you will improve. There is a high probability that you can get several times the benefits in the early stage with one action. You can choose the side you need first, then change the route and continue upward.
The game does not want to see such route players with both abilities and attributes appear, and the restrictions at the beginning can perfectly avoid this situation.
[Record]: Lord Sumo, you have successfully selected "Chef Apprentice lv2 (ability direction)"
[Record]: The number of actions for this time has been exhausted. You will exit in one minute. Please check the action tasks in time.
Same as last time, the game will kick people out when it detects that the number of uses has reached zero.
Taking advantage of the last minute, Sumo returned to the original cornerstone and checked the lv2 improvements of the remaining five cornerstones.
The basic attributes are almost the same, they are all the same, but they are different in direction.
When it comes to ability.
The ability of reserve soldiers is "vigilance", which can improve their ability to sense surrounding dangers.
The ability of handicraft enthusiasts is "qiaojin", and their control of strength will be more precise.
The farmer's ability is "Heat Resistance", which reduces the impact of high temperatures on physical strength.
The ability of a mechanical apprentice is "reliable". The overall structure of the machinery involved in manufacturing will be more durable and the lifespan will be increased to a certain extent.
The ability of construction apprentices is "Solid". The overall structure of the building involved in the construction will be stronger and the damage resistance will be increased to a certain extent.
These are relatively basic abilities, but considering they are only level 2, they are already pretty good.
After keeping these options in mind, it’s time to return to Cornerstone Space.
One black and one bright.
The dark cave disappeared, and Somo returned to the first floor of the shelter.
It’s unimaginable, less than half an hour.
All citizens in the territory who choose to be chef apprentices will have their abilities improved.
Although this method is still far behind the system, it is still a fantasy for humans.
At this time, I picked up the empty bowl and walked towards the square where the conversation was continuing. Sure enough, the discussion was already starting.
“Damn it, the smell in these stalls seems to be more fragrant. Is there something wrong with my sense of smell?”
“Old Ma, don’t prepare that aniseed for the two brothers. Ha, I heard that it’s not healthy to eat that food”
"Aniseed, is your brain out of place? Where can I find aniseed for you to eat in the wasteland now?"
"Damn, you guys, go to the chef apprentice section of the chat in the territory to see the routes of these guys. Upgraded, gained new abilities!”
“It’s really fake, it seems to be real?”
“It’s unreasonable, it’s not reasonable at all, why are we scavengers? Instead of being upgraded, a cook was upgraded first?”
“That’s not fair!”
"Calm down, aren't they upgraded only after completing the hidden task of squeezing ramen? Since their chef apprentices can upgrade the entire route, the same is true for our routes. As long as the conditions are completed, you should be able to get upgrade points."
End The "number one male gunman in the island country" holding a bowl of noodles said calmly and with a rather regretful expression.
"Think about it carefully. Upgrading chef apprentices can only make the food taste better, but it does not derive abilities that conflict with our routes to compete for jobs. Aren't you unhappy that their cooking is delicious? Don’t you want to go back to the village and have a delicious hot meal every day?”
“Yes, they just upgraded to make the food more delicious, which is good for us!”
“ Brother Gun said it well, that’s really what it is.”
"That's a good idea, but I don't know what abilities our scavengers will gain after upgrading."
More and more voices of approval sounded.
Su Mo lowered his head and came to the stall and put down the bowl. He glanced at the guy who was talking and was secretly amused.
That’s right.
But predictions about the future are still too naive.
There is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The delicious taste bonus can only be enjoyed by players on the chef apprentice route. Players on other routes can still cook their own meals with ordinary taste.
Once you get used to the food cooked by these people, then go cook it yourself.
Think of that scene of sighing in front of the pot.
Sumo has foreseen the love-hate mentality of these people in the territory in the future.
If you want to eat something good, spend money.
What?
If you still want to keep consuming at the current price, I advise you not to think about it.
When these villagers on the chef apprenticeship route have money, the wise and wise village chief Chen Shen will soon introduce a new policy, for the sake of mobility in the square in front of the village, and for the sake of a more standardized dining environment. , the area in front of the gate will no longer allow food stalls to appear during non-holidays.
And after these people have money, who will continue to endure the days of being at the entrance of the village? Wouldn't it be nice to rent a window in the canteen or simply rent a shop outside?
Wool comes from sheep, so when the price of processed food increases, isn’t that a sure thing?
Of course, Somo is not trying to forcefully generate income for the village, causing the cost of a full meal or a good meal to continue to rise, in order to increase the rental recovery currency of the shop.
In his plan, this system is to protect chef apprentices. After all, compared with the combat profession, this is the only thing they can do.
It is not difficult to foresee that the gap between each route will definitely become larger and larger in the future.
Start earlier now so that these people will not have psychological imbalance and fall behind in the version in the future.
"All roads lead to Rome. It seems that instead of choosing a strong route, it is better to choose a route you like and stick to it."
"Before, I was still debating whether to keep the opportunity and wait, but now I see There is no need to come.”
Seven different routes, Sumo made a thought and directly chose "Architecture Apprentice".
From the initial construction of the shelter, to the later planning of the village, and then to the design of the entire territory.
It has always been his dream to build a strong shelter, a super shelter that can ignore any natural disasters.
Now, start as a construction apprentice and start upgrading your underground shelter.
Sumo wanted to take a closer look at how far he could go with this route with the support of the system!
