Chapter 20 Let’s Improve Our Combat Power

A good night's sleep. The next day, my father went out early, and Chen Fei helped his mother with a lot of housework before turning on the computer and re-entering the game.

After logging into the game, Chen Fei opened the friend list and saw that Si Gai was already online, and his level had reached level 13. This speed was really fast! As for Xia Lan, she was not online. I don't know when she will come up. Although she is just a newbie, her skills are still enviable even if Chen Fei has changed his job to an elemental mage!

However, after the job change, Chen Fei is still very satisfied with his attributes. Before going to bed last night, he analyzed the strength of the elemental mage. It's a very simple summary. This is a profession with a lot of room for operation!

In the game, the strength of the hero is not only reflected in his panel attributes, but more in his skills. It's a very simple comparison. Chen Fei's hero attributes are definitely higher than Xia Lan's, but when dealing with the half-fish captain, Xia Lan's role is no less than Chen Fei's! It can even be said to be greater! And this is just because Xia Lan has more skills!

As soon as the elemental mage successfully changed his job, he directly had seven skills! So the operating space is huge! At the same time, different elements have different effects, which definitely has room for use in actual application! The most important thing is that it has just changed its job! Chen Fei doesn't think that the elemental mage can only match a single element! There will definitely be a combination of two and three elements in the future!

While sorting out the things I thought about last night in my mind again, I opened the voice platform and entered the chat room exclusive to several people. As soon as I came in, the voices of the crowd sounded one after another. Listening to the chat content of the crowd, it turned out that except Sun Zhenzi, everyone else had reached level 10 and entered the main city.

However, Shen Feng was teleported to Sayre City because of the task; Zheng Wen went to Ironforge with several people in his team, and only Lin Rong and Bai Qilong came to the Storm City.

"Xiao Fei is here? Xiao Fei, you said that they all reached level 10 and ran away, leaving me alone in the newcomer village. That's really mean!" This was Sun Zhenzi's complaint, but unfortunately, Chen Fei didn't intend to pay attention to him.

"Lin Rong, Qi Long, have you two changed your job now?" Chen Fei asked while controlling his unit to go back to the main city.

"We don't have any requirements. I changed to a warrior and Qi Long changed to an archer." Lin Rong replied.

This answer is the same as in the previous life. Both of them started with ordinary jobs. As for the later ones, one is a berserker and the other is a popular archer. I just don't know if there will be any changes in this life.

"Lin Rong, Qi Long, why don't you two wait for me at the East Gate? I'm on my way back now. We'll team up together then. Zheng Wen, Shen Feng, if you're done with your work, come to the Storm City as soon as possible. As for Sun Zhenzi, don't complain, just level up as soon as possible." After a brief suggestion to everyone and a little chat, Chen Fei and Lin Rong reunited.

Including their friends, both of them currently only have one hero. At the gate of the city, you can see twos and threes of players appearing, almost all of them are looking for guards to receive bounty tasks.

After all, the game has just been launched, and many people must have played until late last night to level up, so naturally the main city has become crowded today. At this stage, players basically do bounty tasks, and a few lucky ones can do other tasks to get more rewards. The general idea is to focus on upgrading and obtaining mercenaries, supplemented by a small amount of skills.

However, it is precisely because most people are like this that Chen Fei has begun to think about what to do better. Lin Rong changed his job to a warrior. In addition to the basic skill Heavy Attack, he also gained Double Slash [Active, attack twice in a row] and Sword Mastery [Increase damage when the weapon is a sword]. In addition to Ensnaring, Sun Qilong gained Wind Arrow [Active, straight line piercing damage] and Sprint [Active, increase movement speed]. With the strength of the two, plus Chen Fei's own units, it is really unreasonable for such a team to only do bounty tasks.

Moreover, at present, others still need to fight for gold coins and reputation, but Chen Fei has no need to do so at all! He took Lin Rong and Sun Qilong to the equipment store and gave each of them 20 gold coins.

"Damn! Xiaofei, where did you get so much money? This is gold coins!" Seeing so many gold coins, Lin Rong was not calm! Even Sun Qilong rarely said, "Are you really not related to the game company?"

In this regard, Chen Fei did not explain, and asked the two to buy weapons and armor, and then buy some supplies, and then learn a few skills, and finally meet at the mercenary officer.

Here I want to say that in addition to the skills obtained by changing jobs, you can also learn some basic skills from skill masters. Because they are just basic skills, the damage of these skills is relatively low, and most of them are auxiliary skills. However, this does not mean that these skills are useless. As for more powerful skills, you can either get skill books by killing monsters or get guidance from high-level NPCs by completing tasks.

In terms of equipment, Chen Fei naturally does not need it; as for skills, he did learn two, one is Ice Arrow, the other is Slow, and he also upgraded Fireball.

Ice Arrow: Level 1, consumes 80 mana, releases an ice arrow, causing 100 damage to a unit, lasting 3 seconds to slow down the movement speed by 30%, and cools down for 8 seconds.

Slowdown: Level 1, consumes 50 mana, slows the target's movement speed by 25%, attack speed by 35%, lasts for 15 seconds, cools down for 5 seconds.

Fireball: Level 2, consumes 100 mana, causes 100 damage to the unit, stuns for 1.5 seconds, cools down for 5 seconds.

One of the benefits of basic skills is that the cooldown time is much faster than other skills, which makes its value not low! However, the three skills cost Chen Fei a total of 10 gold coins! Who can afford this in the early stage?

After sorting out the skills, Chen Fei turned to the mercenary officer. In the game, most players get NPCs through this guy, either by buying them with gold coins or exchanging them for reputation. Chen Fei is now not short of gold coins and reputation, so naturally he has to come and take a look. After all, the mercenaries here will refresh randomly!

Find the mercenary officer, there are a few players around him, but they are obviously the kind that can't afford it. Chen Fei doesn't care about them, walks forward, and selects the mercenary officer.

"Young warrior, I can provide you with various mercenaries. I hope you can use them well for the alliance!" A simple sentence, followed by four options: talk, hire, dismiss, rescue.

There is nothing much to say. Click on the hire button, and twenty mercenaries will pop up immediately. However, the top ones are either junior infantry or junior archers. The better ones are knights and priests. However, even for junior infantry, the hiring fee is 3 gold coins! Reputation is better, 500 reputations are taken away. However, who can have so much reputation in the early stage?

In the end, Chen Fei saw a junior broken method. This unit made him tempted. However, looking at the full 59 gold coins or 2500 reputation, Chen Fei chose to give up. He has nearly 5,000 reputation, but he won't use it now.

After closing the hiring column, Lin Rong and Sun Qilong happened to come over. According to Chen Fei's suggestion, both of them only bought weapons and armor. After that, Lin Rong learned to parry [passive, chance to block damage] and counterattack [passive, chance to counterattack], while Sun Qilong learned to shoot [active, increase attack speed].

I asked how many gold coins the two had, and they still had nearly ten. The two didn't want to hire mercenaries, but Chen Fei still suggested that Lin Rong hire two junior infantrymen and Sun Qilong hire two junior archers - the junior mercenaries were just because Chen Fei didn't need them. For others, having mercenaries earlier meant starting training earlier than others. Later, if these junior units were lucky, their combat power might double immediately after a job change!

"Xiao Fei, I know that's impossible, but I still want to say, are you really not related to the game company? Why do you seem to be very familiar with the game?" After buying the mercenaries, Lin Rong typed this sentence.

This made Chen Fei realize that he did act too familiar with the game. Fortunately, these were his buddies, and even if they felt strange, they wouldn't ask too much.

The players who had surrounded the mercenary officer left, and Chen Fei was thinking about what to do next. He gave up the bounty mission, and the minimum dungeon required level 15 to enter. The only thing left seemed to be to find a good place to level up. After all, the early level is the main thing!

He continued to search in his mind for a place suitable for early leveling. At this time, Sun Qilong, who had rarely spoken, typed a message.

"Xiao Fei, I saw a mission related to the new mercenary."

New mercenary? !

Sun Qilong's message surprised Chen Fei. Several people were standing here, why did he see it alone? He quickly asked Sun Qilong what was going on.

"It's the mercenary officer. Among his rescue missions, there is a mission to rescue the new mercenary."

Seeing this, Chen Fei quickly clicked on the mercenary and then selected rescue. Sure enough, among the ten rescue missions, there was really a mission to rescue the novice mercenary! And it showed that there was a three-hour countdown!

Regarding rescue, it is considered that the system gives players a chance to get mercenaries for free. The process is that a mercenary is captured by wild monsters or hostile forces. As long as the player rescues him before the countdown ends, the mercenary will belong to you.

However, since it is free, the difficulty of the task will not be very low! The reason why Chen Fei did not click in to see this just now is that he knows that the reward for rescuing the mercenary is far less than the cost. Not to mention the difficulty, the task links are also quite cumbersome. Once the middle link is stuck, the countdown is up, the task is declared a failure, and all your previous efforts will be in vain. And even if you really succeed, it will take at least an hour to complete it! And in this one hour, you can also get about 200 reputation by doing the bounty task. With such a comparison, how can Chen Fei consider this?

It feels a bit stuck. . Uh
