Chapter 12 Lottery

Gao Fei's luck seems to be pretty good, the lottery results are as follows:

Candidate Skill A: Stealth (modification depends on Agility)

Candidate Skill B: Sleight of Hand (modification depends on Agility)

Candidate Skill C: Survival (modification depends on Perception)

...

Mastering the "Stealth" skill can gain a proficiency bonus when performing checks such as sneaking and hiding, which is beneficial for executing tactics such as sneak attacks and backstabs.

This is a required job skill for thieves (wanderers). As for berserkers, they are mainly head-on, and stealth skills can be learned or not.

"Sleight of Hand" is also a thief skill, which can provide a proficiency bonus for checks such as sneaking, picking locks, stealing, and dismantling traps.

If you are exploring in a dungeon maze and there are no thief teammates around, then the "Sleight of Hand" skill is a must, otherwise many treasure chests and secret doors cannot be opened at all, and you can only try to take a detour when encountering traps.

However, Gao Fei considered that Basaka was stranded on a deserted island, and the theme of the current adventure is wilderness survival rather than dungeon treasure hunting, so the "Sleight of Hand" skill may not be useful.

Adventurers need to make "survival" checks when tracking prey, identifying footprints, predicting weather, crossing dangerous areas, avoiding natural disasters such as quicksand, and similar scenarios.

Mastering survival skills can provide proficiency bonuses in the above situations.

Since Barsaka has to struggle to survive alone in the wilderness full of dangers for a long time to come, it is obvious that "survival" is the skill he most urgently needs to master.

After Gao Fei made his choice, the survival skill was added to Barsaka's proficiency list.

Then, the system sent a reminder about the extra reward.

Novice Tutorial: Extra Reward

For each chapter of the module, the fewer times the player reads the file during the adventure, the higher the level of the extra reward.

Within one chapter, 0 reads: reward an NPC profession (if a new profession appears in this chapter), plus one of the three specialties, skills, and tools.

Within one chapter, 1 read: one of the three specialties, skills, and tools.

Within one chapter, 2 reads: one of the two skills and tools.

3 times of reloading within a chapter: reward for a skill

More than 3 times of reloading within a chapter: no reward.

…

The fewer times of reloading, the better the reward, which shows that the game encourages players to be prudent and consider carefully every step. When encountering unexpected situations, you should be flexible and use your brain to overcome difficulties. Reloading and reloading is not a real skill.

Such a setting would be unreasonable if it were placed in a commercial game aimed at profit. The difficulty is too high and the reloading is restricted, which may scare away most players.

However, the purpose of this game designed by Tiangong is not to make players happy, but to train newcomers and cultivate special police.

In the game, you can reload and reload if you make a mistake, but there is no regret medicine in the real world. It is reasonable to use the reward and punishment mechanism to limit the reloading and cultivate the ability of Tianren to act cautiously and adapt to changes.

This is the reason, but Gao Fei still feels a little uncomfortable.

He does not blame the mechanism of the game, but only blames himself for not living up to expectations. If he is more careful and uses his brain more during the adventure, he may be able to reload one or two fewer times and get better rewards.

Suppressing his lost mood, Gao Fei continued to check the system prompts.

Novice tutorial: long rest

A long rest requires at least eight hours of full sleep, after which the health value is restored, and special energies such as the magic pool, psychic pool, and true qi pool, as well as abilities with limited usage such as "rage" will also be automatically replenished.

It was already dark, and Basaka was dozing off by the campfire, so Gao Fei simply let him take a long rest.

This barbarian prince with a simple nature soon fell asleep. Gao Fei scratched his head, wondering what he could do next?

Could he only wait for Basaka to sleep until he woke up naturally?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he received another system prompt.

Novice tutorial: fast forward mode

Spend 1 star disk energy to directly skip simple battles and boring plots, such as long rest and long-distance travel.

...

The fast forward mode can directly skip the long rest, but today's star disk energy has been exhausted, and it is impossible to directly start the next chapter of the adventure module.

Gao Fei had to quit the game and wait for Basaka to sleep for eight hours before logging in again.

Just then, he received another system prompt.

Tutorial for Beginners: Forum

You can log in to the Tianren-only exchange forum through the star disk, and Tianren can also trade loot through the forum.

Gao Fei logged into the forum with his Tianren ID (007-000-527) and checked the score rankings. He was surprised to find that he was ranked 127th among the more than 1,300 trainee Tianren in Tiangong Station No. 7!

In fact, Gao Fei was very dissatisfied with his performance on the first day in the game. He had to reload the game three times to barely complete the prologue of "Prince's Revenge". With such a stumbling and shabby performance, he could still rank in the top 10% of the entire server?

This really surprised him.

Gao Fei stared at the rankings and thought for a while. He could only think that his high ranking was due to two factors.

First, the modules chosen by other Tianren for strategy, even if not more difficult than "Prince's Revenge", at least not simpler.

Secondly, including himself, the first group of people who were summoned by Yaoguang to the Heavenly Palace for special training had never been exposed to this almost completely simulated game mode. Even game masters would inevitably be frustrated in this unfamiliar environment.

Gao Fei didn't think his performance was worthy of the ranking, but this also gave him an incentive to realize that he had gained a first-mover advantage in another track of life. If he maintained his advantage and continued to work hard, he might even have a chance to become a leader.

As for those apprentice Tianren who ranked in the top 100, Gao Fei guessed that they either cleared the game faster and had fewer file reloads, or they showed extraordinary creativity in the game.

After closing the ranking page, Gao Fei flipped through the topic posts on the Tianren Forum and found that most of the posters chose to hide their Tianren numbers. Although the number itself was a layer of password, everyone was still cautious, fearing that their real identities would be exposed.

On the Tianren Forum, most of the posts were meaningless nonsense.

The few posts that announced the progress of the strategy were just showing off that they had passed the module prologue without reloading the file and got the coveted expertise reward, but they all tacitly did not elaborate on which module the strategy was and the key points of the breakthrough.

Gao Fei felt that this was understandable. Everyone was a competitor for a job. The leader wanted to maintain his leading position, and the laggard wanted to overtake, so of course they would be reserved.

There are about 1,000 people in Sky Station 7 now. The forum is not very popular and there are not many posts worth reading. Gao Fei felt bored after flipping through two pages. When he was about to log off, he received another system prompt.
