I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

After serving the meal, he ignored the Pagoda Town River Demon who sighed, "The NPC leveling up to level 18 in the morning and level 19 in the evening is quite fast."

Chen Zhou, who stayed at home, was more interested in the water element he summoned.

Coming from the earth, he had never seen such an elemental life form. He had received a water elemental mount as a season reward in the Great Secret Realm in online games, but he still preferred the speeding car he got at the Kingdee Amusement Park when it was linked with FF.

Looking at the water element with the sound of gurgling water and body fluids dripping on the floor, Chen Zhou couldn't help but feel curious.

"If you cut it in half, where does its consciousness stay?"

It sounds a bit evil, but the [Summoning] spell only summons a copy of the creature and does not have any impact on the original creature.

Faced with the warlock's doubts, the wise man with an intelligence of 9 simply asked:

"Can a man cut off a river?"

It was cut open a second ago, but when the knife continues to move downward, the cut water flow will rejoin.

The water element has a certain resistance to physical attacks, and can rely on water to replenish its missing body.

If not, those physics professionals wouldn't find it difficult.

However, the water element also has a significant weakness - it cannot stray too far from the water source from which it was created.

Taking the water element summoned by Chen Zhou as an example, its range of activity is only about 60 meters around the room.

As long as you attack outside this range, you can kill it without any damage - provided you can seize the opportunity to attack when it is in a rigid body.

"The key point is this feature of being able to switch between fluid and rigid body at will. Elemental creatures are so powerful."

The preconceived notions in the game made Chen Zhou almost think that the water element was just a trash fish, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with!

But what if the water element is allowed to stretch itself, can't it be cut off with a knife?

Or use a long ice knife to add cold magic power to freeze the incision and make it impossible to join?

Or else just boil it and see if...

"Kitten, did you summon it just to torture it?"

This approach is too mage-like. Even the water element is alive and conscious, so it cannot be left to its own devices.

Hearing this, Chen Zhou slapped his thigh. By the way, no matter how curious you are, tests that may cause damage to the water element should be done when the spell duration is almost over!

Compared with destructive experiments, the most important thing at the moment is to use the "miracle elixir" to make pet shower gel, mix it into the body of the water element, and let it take a bath for itself!

Although the Khajiit's body is surprisingly flexible, a small part of his back and tail is still difficult to wash.

There's no point in using a bath towel, and using a brush feels a little weird.

Now that we have the water element, we can let it help.

"..."

Is this how you use magic? Your blood is crying!

"Don't you think undead beasts are the most important issue right now?"

"Hasn't the problem been solved?" Chen Zhou was a little unfazed by this.

According to the whispers between Maple Leaf and Gan Tofu, he knew that the player's level cap was opened with the version. The current version's level cap was only level 20 - which is equivalent to level 4/level 2 in this world.

For something like online games, version changes take at least half a year.

In other words, at least for half a year, Chen Zhou wouldn't have to worry about players surpassing him in level, and the players' power would not exceed the control of the ruler of this world.

This period of time is his development period. He neither intends to work for the Flower Lady nor join the Blossom Port. Instead, he uses the power of myth to quietly make a fortune and increase his strength to a level that is beyond the reach of players.

Then look for opportunities to profit!

There is more than one world, but the players' stage is destined to be limited to a few specific worlds.

As long as you run to a world without players, you can develop safely.

The life cycle of an online game is only a dozen years at most. As long as Chen Zhou drags on, those immortal lunatics will disappear sooner or later.

Players may even disappear after a year - the next version may be a world more than ten years from now.

Jerry expressed great dissatisfaction with the optimistic attitude of his illiterate and legally illiterate owner.

"Kitten, you don't even understand what an undead beast is."

Indeed, no one in this world knows what a player is better than Chen Zhou, but the prerequisite is that those people must be real players.

Remember what it once said about the existence of undead beasts in this world?

The materialization of the soul utilizes the near-immortality of the soul to gain immortality and endless energy.

The undead beast will obtain the soul of the life it kills, gain knowledge out of nothing, and achieve the miracle of becoming stronger quickly.

However, this is by no means a pie-in-the-sky thing!

The things carried by the soul include not only power and knowledge, but also emotions, will and memory.

Incorporating another person's soul means acquiring another person's personality.

The undead beast will indiscriminately rob part of the soul of the creature it kills.

Plants, insects, beasts, monsters, humans, good, evil, chaotic, lawful.

When these souls mix together more and more, their souls will become more and more chaotic, and even normal undead beasts will become crazy!

This is an existence even more chaotic than the demons in the abyss, and the old Holy Roland Empire is being destroyed because of them.

Chen Zhou fell into silence after hearing Jerry's interpretation of the nature of the undead beast.

Players gain experience points by killing enemies, and accumulating these items will make them stronger.

Chen Zhou will gain XP by doing things by himself and killing enemies.

The XP in "Life Plan" can also be used to issue tasks to players and reward experience points.

What exactly is XP?

At this moment, Chen Zhou realized the truth about XP——

It is not the abbreviation of experience value. The "X" here probably refers to a certain word whose etymology is -xen-, which means "foreign, foreign source, strange".

XP points come from other people's souls, personalities, wills, emotions and memories.

No wonder Chen Zhou couldn't upgrade after accumulating XP. He could only use them to unlock knowledge and learn and comprehend it on his own, because using XP to upgrade would make the soul no longer pure.

"Wait, I remember Maple Leaf and the others mentioned that they will lose 5% of their experience points when they die?"

It doesn't sound like much at first. Only deducting 5% experience is not much. Most games like POE have a death penalty of about 5%-10% in PVE. In hardcore mode, accounts are forced to be deleted on the spot once you die.

But if you equate XP with soul...

"This is why undead beasts are called the source of chaos. They mix into other people's souls and lose some during the rebirth process. Eventually, they will completely lose themselves and fall into madness in the repeated process."

"!!!"

The disastrous consequences suddenly flashed in Chen Zhou's mind.

He was so frightened that he was promoted to level 1 on the spot!
