Soul echo

Chapter 4 Upgrade
Standing on the edge of the desert, Zhong Ye couldn't help touching the scars on his body. The past few days have been more thrilling than the past twenty years. If it wasn't for his superb skills and the witcher's effective healing potions , he might really die in the occupied area—of course, the mutants he encountered before were all provoked by the demon hunters. If it weren't for Amos, maybe he wouldn't have encountered those mutants at all.

The set of clothes he brought from the earth when he crossed has long been damaged, and now he is wearing the spare clothes of Amos. The two of them are about the same size, but Amos is stronger.

"Do you have any ideas?" Amos led the horse and stood beside Zhong Ye. After getting along with him for the past few days, he believed that this Eastern native who appeared in the occupied area for no reason should not be an abyssal monster disguised as a human.

Even if the abyssal monster has no brains, it is impossible to pretend to be an Eastern native who appeared in the occupied area for no reason, let alone an abyssal monster with a human form is still smart.

When Zhong Ye swung his sword, he could clearly feel the Eastern native's anger towards the monsters of the abyss—even though Zhong Ye himself didn't know where this anger came from.

"...I feel a little emotional." The warrior shook his head and stopped worrying about those things.

Looking up at the lush and lush mountains in front of them, the desolation stopped abruptly at their feet, and one step further was the green land with green grass.

"Where are we going next?" Zhong Ye asked.

"The nearest town from here." Amos patted Rapunzel's neck, thought for a while, and pointed to the east, "I remember I came from there before, what is the name of that territory? Rikanda? Resta ? Anyway, it is the nearest town. There is a temple of the Supreme Light there, and the priests are much more professional than me in identifying monsters from the abyss."

Both Amos and Zhong Ye heaved a sigh of relief when they set foot on the land outside the occupied area.

It doesn't mean that the abyssal monsters won't chase them out after leaving the occupied area, but there aren't many abyssal monsters active around here, and they won't be attracted by Amos' demon hunter physique.

Moreover, leaving the occupied area meant that he could relax a little bit. Zhong Ye called out the system panel, and was immediately swiped by a series of messages.

【...The battle is over, get [-] points of soul debris】

[...The battle is over, and [-] points of soul fragments are obtained]

【...The battle is over, get [-] points of soul debris】

…………

The improvement of the player's level requires soul fragments, and the acquisition of soul fragments is only related to fighting and killing. Only killing can get soul fragments, and ordinary tasks only have item rewards.

These few days of fighting allowed him to get a total of [-] soul fragments, just enough for him to be promoted to the third level.

[Level up, the current level is Warrior (Level [-]), get a chance to improve attributes, remaining [-] points of soul debris]

[Level up, the current level is Martial Artist (Level [-]), get a chance to draw a skill, and there are [-] soul debris remaining]

Upgrading to level two requires [-] points of soul debris, upgrading to level three requires eighty points, and upgrading to level four requires two hundred points of soul debris.

Starting from the second level, you can get an attribute improvement opportunity for every two levels up. You can choose one of the monsters killed by the player to obtain its highest attribute.

Similarly, starting from the third level, the player can get a chance to draw a skill every two levels, and can draw one of the three main occupational skills that appear randomly. "Learning ability"——according to the internal test discussion group and Zhong Ye's personal experience, the ability to learn and train independently is more cost-effective. Although it takes more time, players can specify the learning direction, and the probability is low. Can get two or more skills and traits.

Zhong Ye once felt that this kind of setting was too real to be like a game, but other people in the forum said that this was a game feature, and the degree of completion was quite high.

Zhong Ye glanced at Amos, wondering if the demon hunter would notice if the attributes were to be improved next.

[Expand the hunting list——]

[——It is detected that the monsters hunted by the player are all creatures of the abyss, and the condition of 'enemy of the abyss' is fulfilled, and an additional type of attribute improvement (can be extracted from the soul debris of another monster) is obtained, and a trait (this This item is an achievement task, each character can only complete it once)]

Zhong Ye's lips were tightly pursed, and he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent.

He hadn't seen similar remarks in the discussion group, maybe the conditions of the 'enemy of the abyss' were too harsh, and no one had triggered it yet.

If it wasn't for meeting Amos, he might not be able to meet this condition.

However, since there is an 'Enemy of the Abyss', will there be other similar 'achievement tasks'?
The list is automatically arranged, and monsters with higher attributes appear at the top. Unfortunately, the giant eagle distortion was sealed by Amos before. If it can be killed by him, perhaps the benefits of this upgrade will be even greater.

Strength and physique are mostly prominent in the list, so Zhong Ye naturally chose these two attributes.

When his consciousness was condensed on [Confirmation], the attribute page popped up, and the two attributes of [Strength] and [Physique] gradually faded away. At this moment, Zhong Ye could feel that there was a heat flow in his body with a little pain from his limbs and bones. Gushes out and circulates in the body.

Roaming in the mountains and forests, every time you take a step forward, the subtleties of your body will change.

Zhong Ye only had a vague perception of this. If he hadn't been able to know his own changes from the information panel, he might not have known that he was getting stronger.

[Strength] and [Physique] have risen a bit respectively, and are fixed at [[-]].

So far, his three attributes of strength, speed, and body have all reached [-] points. If placed on the earth, he would be a humanoid weapon.

Even in the world of Dan, he can be regarded as a master, but he is not that top-notch.

All this stems from his 18 years of hard work—he is now even stronger than the game character in the closed beta.

Under the column of [Skills], a [Trait] is slowly forming, and after he has bypassed two more mountains, it will be fully formed.

[Weak physical strength enhancement: Your body has undergone benign mutations, and your physical strength recovery speed and body strength have been slightly enhanced, and you can also recover your physical strength during battles—even if it is minimal (5.00% increase in physical strength, you can recover your physical strength during battles, low-intensity exercise The physical recovery speed increases by ten percent)]

This is... a good thing!

Zhong Ye remained silent, silently feeling the changes in his body.

Walking and resting, although there was no battle, after a whole day, Zhong Ye also had a preliminary understanding of his own physical exertion and recovery speed.

Although the values ​​displayed on the panel are very small, for a fighting master like Zhong Ye, a slight change may also be a great enhancement.

There is a large wilderness area between Yitrul and the occupied area. King Yitrul wanted to develop this area, but it was only close to the occupied area, so the demon hunters had to dispatch to inspect the movement of the occupied area.

At night, Zhong Ye and Amos cleared out an open space and lit up the campfire. A few monkeys squatted on the trees in the distance, looking curiously at them.

"What are your plans in the future?" Amos threw a piece of firewood into the fire, raised his eyebrows at Zhong Ye, "It's clear from a glance that you are not someone who can relax, do you want to hunt monsters with me?"

Zhong Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I still have some things to figure out—for no reason, it is impossible for me to suddenly appear in the enemy-occupied area and lose my previous memory. You also said before that you should ask a mage for these questions. That's right, I plan to go to some mages to ask what's going on according to your suggestion."

Amos felt a little pity. After all, Zhong Ye was as powerful, flexible, and cooperated with him quite tacitly, even among the demon hunters.

Zhong Ye didn't tell the truth. In fact, he wanted to find the traces left by the players in this world.

If it can be found, it can prove that he is now in the game, not in another world, and may be able to connect with the real world.

It was Huaxia officials who asked him to test the game at the beginning, and he knew that some of the closed beta players were actually scholars and soldiers.

Although their game characters are now far away in the East, he will not give up hope of going back.

I just hope... I can find it...
