Chapter 16 Arrival at Wushan Town

Zhang Xiaoming looked at the data of the ascetic monk and was amazed. So strong! He immediately flattered Mr. Guo who was leaning on a cane next to him.

Mr. Guo used the art of euphemism to pour a basin of warm water on him at the right time. Translated into the language of players, it means:

The ascetic monk is an early-stage profession, and has advantages in attributes and equipment in the early stage.

However, this gap is only obvious in the early stage, and it almost beats other professionals at level 1. But how long can players stay at level 1?

In the early stage, players focus on upgrading, and players will not pursue equipment, because the equipment at this time will soon become outdated.

Once players start to stack equipment, the bonus brought by the equipment can easily catch up with or even exceed the attribute advantages of the ascetic monk and the blank inheritance equipment.

At the same time, the strength of the ascetic monk's attributes is an average strength, practicing both magic and martial arts. It is not particularly strong in any one aspect.

And in the middle stage, everyone's attributes are high, so this gap is not so obvious.

You can get some advantages in the early stage, and you won't be left behind in the middle stage. In the late stage (I guess you've already changed the game by then), you don't need to spend money on equipment, and you don't need to enjoy food and drink.

This profession is clearly designed for poor losers, which is a bit ironic.

If you can make good use of the advantages in the early stage to seize some opportunities, the ascetic monk may shine in the middle and late stages.

One difficulty of this profession is persistence. Once those "commands" cannot be adhered to.

There will be corresponding penalties, deduction of experience points, deduction of attributes... and even loss of the title of ascetic monk. It is actually difficult for ordinary players to persist.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming has an A-level intelligent program to persist for him. Players who can afford A-level intelligence will hardly choose to be an ascetic monk.

If Xiao Ming knew the price, he would probably want to sell the intelligent program. (Replace it with a lower-level one).

Another difficulty is the equipment. It's not a big deal to always wear blank equipment. The inherited equipment should also be upgradeable, right?

In response, Mr. Guo said that sincerity is the key. Xiao Ming said that you believe in your lies.

Since there are blank Ascetic equipment, there must be excellent and sophisticated ones. Xiao Ming thought he could try.

So he put his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed devoutly. In fact, he brewed for a while and secretly used his superpowers.

Mr. Guo was surprised to feel that "God's blessing" had descended on the explorer's inheritance equipment.

Strong Crossbow Ascetic Set: Level 1, Level 1, Green Excellent Heritage Equipment. Life +30, Strength +30, Mana +40.

Strong Crossbow Ascetic Rattan Staff: Level 1, Level 1, Green Excellent Heritage Equipment. Normal Form: Magic Attack +20. Strong Crossbow Form: Remote Physical Attack +15.

The title was promoted to "Strong Crossbow Ascetic". You can add your own attributes to the long-range crossbow attack. You can learn crossbow skills.

This is almost equivalent to taking up the crossbowman profession. Although you can use crossbows to attack before, the attack power is only the attack power of the crossbow itself.

You can't get the attribute bonus of the player's own character, and there are no related skills. Of course, the player's own attack was not worth a few points at that time.

Old Guo was quite shocked. He was shocked that the explorer actually upgraded his inherited equipment on the first day of his employment as a monk.

Thinking that the explorer had been using crossbows to fight, he was relieved. He thought that this was the result of the explorer's long-term use of crossbows. Unexpectedly, the explorer actually started using crossbows on the first day.

Similar situations are not uncommon among monks. Swords, spears, swords and halberds are used. It is not uncommon to use crossbows, although they are rare. In addition to congratulating the explorer, Old Guo also praised the explorer's talent.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ming took the risk to use his ability in front of a high-level NPC. Anything that happened to the monk can be attributed to sincerity.

It is hard to say when he will meet such a high-level NPC as Old Guo again. Based on the scene of hosting the explorer's job transfer in the wild, Xiao Ming believes that Old Guo will not be just level 4. So he took a risk.

Seeing that Old Guo was interested in the monk's use of a strong crossbow, Xiao Ming immediately gave Old Guo the universal crossbow that the explorer had been using.

Old Guo was very happy to see this universal crossbow that can be used by any profession at level 0. The profession of the ascetic monk has always suffered from the lack of its own organized long-range troops.

The weapons contributed by Xiao Ming may be an opportunity for the ascetic monk to improve the equipment of the army. The professional status of the ascetic monk is likely to be greatly improved. Talented, Old Guo's eyes turned green when he saw the explorer.

The favorability between Old Guo and the explorer immediately increased to friendly, and Old Guo gave the explorer a communication crystal.

You can communicate with Old Guo at any time, and Old Guo can also take the initiative to contact the explorer.

Using the crystal consumes the explorer's own mana. At the same time, the explorer was also given a task. It was at this moment that Xiao Ming learned the full name and rank of Old Guo.

System prompt: "Level 6 Bishop Ascetic Guo Jinsong issues a blue master-level task to the player character explorer - "Collecting Universal Weapons".

Please collect ten other professional weapons that can be used by ascetics, of which at least five are bows or crossbows. After collecting them, inform Bishop Guo.

Note: This task belongs to the orange epic task group "Ascetic Status". After the task group is completed, special rewards will be given according to the player's contribution. Please choose whether to accept it."

Old Guo is level 6! These orcs are really looking for death. I guess Old Guo can kill them all with one hand.

There is actually such a concept as a task group. I guess this is a task group that many players and even NPCs are doing together.

The promotion of a profession is also worthy of the epic level. Xiao Ming secretly gave himself a thumbs up, and it was worth his effort this time.

This task group is very suitable for him to play. He took the task without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Ming took the task, Guo Lao was very happy, and his favorability was enough, so he taught the explorer a special life skill of the ascetic monk "Ascetic monk barbecue".

Ascetic monks usually only eat steamed buns and bread. When there is no food in the wild, they can also barbecue some meat to eat.

Ascetic monk barbecue is dry roasting without any seasoning. The taste can be imagined, and it also consumes some mana of the ascetic monk.

Of course, there are also benefits. As long as you can eat the things roasted in this way, the automatic recovery of life, strength, and mana will double within 3 hours. Naturally, it is only for the ascetic profession.

After teaching the skills, Guo Lao floated away with a cane. After a while, the guards and players who chased the orcs also came back one after another.

After a little tidying up, the convoy set off to continue to Wushan Town. Everyone in the team had a smile on their face, and they were excitedly talking to the people around them.

Among them, Shopkeeper Huo was the most excited, and the wrinkles on his face could hold his clothes. Occasionally, he would smile and greet the explorer.

It seems that the interaction between the explorer and Mr. Guo was also seen by the shopkeeper.

The explorer's upgrade may have been noticed by several players.

But everyone was busy checking their gains. They didn't care much about this trivial matter of upgrading from level 0 to level 1.

Qin Qiong and Guan Yu from the Tang Dynasty came over to chat with Xiao Ming.

A must-have skill for players, to open the personal panel to organize while chatting with people, without delaying either.

There was no trouble along the way, and soon the team finally arrived at Wushan Town.
