Chapter 42: Thoughts
In the next two days, Ethan really did not intervene in any housekeeping.
He just carefully repaired the stairs and added two more handrails.
The method was also simple and crude. He directly cut two longer logs, made slots, and put them on the boat along the slope of the stairs.
It was not about beauty, but simplicity and practicality.
The rest of the time was to arrange for the little yellow-haired boy to patrol the territory.
Originally, he wanted the little yellow-haired boy to fly over the Anji Mountains to check the situation in the orc territory.
Later, considering that it would take too much time to go back and forth, it could only be temporarily shelved.
After all, the main security risks at present still come from the mainland.
And the scope of surveillance is not just the small area of his own territory.
Ethan must control every inch of the area within a radius of several miles.
If he was not worried that the magician might hurt the little yellow-haired boy at the border wall, he would even want to monitor the castle of the Duke of Eagle.
I don't know if it's because they just arrived here, and those potential enemies don't know they have arrived yet, so everything around is safe.
In the following days, Ethan had nothing to do. Finally, he listened to Angelina's advice and went fishing with a fishing rod.
And I don't know if it's a benefit for novices, or because the fish here are usually not fished, so they are stupid.
The first time Ethan cast the hook, he caught a large grouper more than one meter long.
Having delicious food is already a surprise, and Ethan suddenly found a bigger surprise. A new talent tree appeared in his talent panel.
This talent is different from the previous combat talent. It is actually biased towards sideline.
[Fishing] Passive skill
When you fish, fish will be automatically attracted by your aura.
With each level up, the aura range will increase, and the maximum will not exceed 10,000 meters.
Current lv0
Ethan sat on the shore, looking at this skill with some laughter and tears.
You say it's useless! With this skill, there will be fresh fish to eat even in the coldest winter.
But you say it's useful! Ethan didn't dare to add points to it, because if he did, it would be considered as the third talent.
Ethan didn't dare to waste the third talent on such a useless skill.
After thinking about it, Ethan decided to take advantage of the current skill points and first point out the third talent.
After hesitating for a while, he chose the latter between dagger specialization and bare-handed combat specialization.
Bare-handed combat specialization is mainly a skill that improves physical fitness.
There are also four skills in total [Combat Mastery] [Control Breathing] [Back to Back] [Spiritual Storm]
If it weren't for the skill [Back to Back] being too lame, Ethan would have planned to use it as the first talent.
After all, talents that improve physical fitness are also improving people's potential. After development, strength will be even stronger.
It's just that Ethan was in danger at the beginning, and skill points were difficult to obtain, so he could only choose sword specialization that could improve strength as soon as possible.
In fact, it is also thanks to the sword specialization that he has achieved what he has now.
However, it's time to improve physical fitness.
So Ethan exchanged some more skill points. Since it was the third talent, only two skills could be activated.
Therefore, he only exchanged ten points, each skill point cost 85 strength, a total of 850 strength.
Then quickly added to the unarmed combat specialization.
[Combat Mastery] Passive Skill LV5
Your control of the accuracy, strength, and distance of unarmed combat will increase by one level.
With each level increase, the control will increase by one level.
[Control Breathing] Passive Skill LV5
The essence of unarmed combat lies in the body, and the essence of controlling the body lies in breathing.
Understand breathing, use breathing, and control breathing, and your physical potential will also increase significantly.
With each level increase, your strength, speed, endurance, physical strength, flexibility, and even life span will increase by one level.
Just after clicking the skill, Ethan not only did not feel that breathing was smooth, but he felt that breathing was extremely difficult.
There was even a situation where inhalation and exhalation were carried out at the same time.
Suddenly, the brain began to lack oxygen, the whole body was weak, and he was paralyzed in the chair.
But Ethan was not worried, because he knew that this was his original breathing method, which conflicted with the [Control Breathing] skill.
The two breathing methods were carried out at the same time without his awareness, which led to the current situation.
As long as he adapted to the new breathing method, he would recover immediately.
Ethan began to relax his body, let the power of his subconscious mind dominate his breathing, and took the initiative to give up his original breathing method.
Sure enough, with this relaxation, his breathing immediately became smooth.
And it felt as if there was a warm current that was moving up and down in his body in a certain pattern and rhythmically.
Because of this heat flow, not only did he not feel cold, but he was warm and even sweated on this seaside where the cold wind was howling.
Although it has not started snowing yet, the temperature is only about 4 to 5 degrees.
Ethan was wearing a thick leather coat and sweating profusely.
He really couldn't stand it, so he had to take off his coat.
At this time, the cold wind blew, and Ethan felt like a cool breeze blowing under the shade of a tree in midsummer, which was extremely refreshing.
"It's amazing!" Ethan adapted to the new breathing method and immediately felt refreshed and full of energy.
"I should have used this as my first talent, what a pity!"
Ethan felt a little regretful, but he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, if he had already chosen something, dwelling on it too much would only hurt his mind and would not do any good.
At the same time, because he had mastered breathing, his physical fitness immediately improved to a certain extent, and he also had new ideas.
"The original physical fitness cannot be increased after converting 100 strength to oneself. I don't know if it can be done now."
With this idea in mind, Ethan tried it, and it turned out that it really worked.
However, he did not get too carried away. He still transformed slowly like the first time. After all, the body's adaptation to power is not as simple as the force.
Ethan is not in a hurry, because he has already awakened the Force, and his own strength is just the icing on the cake.
He plans to transform a little bit every day and slowly adapt little by little, so that he doesn't have to do flexibility exercises over and over again, and it will be easier to adapt and master.
Just when Ethan was delighted with today's harvest, his stomach suddenly growled.
"It's better to get some food first, I'm starving!"
So I took the grouper home and prepared to cook a delicious dish myself.
"Although they promised not to interfere in internal affairs, they also don't know how to handle Chinese delicacies. They can only do it themselves!" Ethan thought to himself on the way.
“There are only three methods of frying, boiling and deep-frying here, not even stir-frying.
The food made is satisfying, but the taste is really hard to describe.
It would be great if Lili could master the cooking methods of Chinese cuisine! "
Thinking of this, Ethan suddenly thought of the [Fishing] skill again.
“Since I have fishing skills, do I also have cooking skills?”
"If so, wouldn't it be enough to transfer my cooking skills to Lili in the form of [loan sharking]?"
"Even if something happens to Lili, I will only lose one cooking skill at most. I can just spend some skill points to learn it back?"
The more Ethan thought about it, the more he realized this, and he even thought about it.
"If this is feasible, then learn some other weapons yourself, such as knives, axes, etc., and then transfer them to others in the form of [loan sharks]!"
"If there are enough skill points and enough people, an army proficient in various weapons can be pulled out!"
"Yes, it is completely feasible. The main talent does not necessarily mean asking for it, you can also contribute!"
"Hurry up and try it!"
