Astral Apostle Chapter 59: Home is the journey
For the development of the Eternal Apostle, Zhou Jing has a plan.
In his opinion, there are two main goals for the eternal apostles to walk in the astral world.
One is naturally to continue to develop, constantly improve the upper limit of strength, learn new skills, and provide a richer ability library for the ontology.
The other is to earn resources, such as achievements, astral points and information particles.
Because the Eternal Apostle does not have the pressure to pass the customs, nor does he have a life goal to guide him, he can only exert his own initiative and decide what career to do.
Jason's "life goal" has been completed, and now he wants to obtain information-state particles, he can only take the initiative to find events to intervene - and the undercurrent of the division of the alien world empire and the independence of tribes is obviously a major event affecting the entire civilization process. And he has a certain amount of information, and his involvement in it should have a large impact.
As for his role in this turmoil... Zhou Jing decided to act accordingly and wait for an opportunity.
The opposing faction is the empire and the lords of various tribes. He is currently slightly inclined towards the Terra Empire... Mainly due to the influence of Rut, he does not have much affection for the tribal lords.
——Killing alien lifeforms seems to be the way to obtain information-state particles, but the risk is too great and no one else can be found, so Zhou Jing will not consider it for the time being.
As for the big career plan, Zhou Jing still intends to let Jason develop in the alien hunter route. On the one hand, only when a hunter can justifiably enjoy the priority supply of various extraordinary resources, it is more convenient for subsequent alien blood enhancement.
On the other hand, I want to try to complete the previously triggered milestone, [True Alien Beast Hunter].
At present, there are still two goals to complete this milestone, namely hunting deadly alien beasts and the king of alien beasts.
Zhou Jing thought about it, if Jason can break the limit of Raiwen's strengthening, or become the first person to kill the king of alien beasts, then most of them can be remembered in history. In this case, it will definitely cause a sensational effect. , resulting in a large wave of informative particles.
There is also the possibility of failure, but the Eternal Apostle is not afraid of death, setting a challenge goal and more motivation.
—Of course, Zhou Jing didn't think about giving the King of Alien Beasts a tooth sacrifice before Jason reached the limit of the alien blood enhancement. Besides, no one knows the trace of the King of Alien Beasts now.
"Set a small goal first and become a legendary hunter."
Zhou Jing secretly made a plan.
Baiyuan City is located in the northern part of the empire. From here, it takes about twenty days to go to the capital by walking. If you have enough stamina, you can greatly shorten this time.
However, Zhou Jing doesn't plan to go straight to the capital, he wants to go around the way to open the map... By the way, he also explores the whole picture of the world and learns more about the customs.
It is known that the larger the map, the more areas that can be designated for placement, which plays an important role in the subsequent placement of Astral Apostles.
Zhou Jing intends to wait until a large map is opened, allowing Jason to gain a firm foothold in the capital, and then expand the apostle slots to generate new astral apostles, which can save a lot of energy. And if you know more about the world, you will have more ideas for the planning of the new apostles.
Because the main body has become a power user, the original plan has been completed faster than expected, and immigration has been decided. The main world is still a month and a half before boarding the spaceship, so Zhou Jing is not so anxious.
He has a relaxed mind and plans to explore the world of alien beasts and develop apostles.
“About the lifeforms of different planes... Wait until the capital, and then take a closer look. As long as I keep playing the role of an alien hunter and don’t show words and deeds beyond this era, it will not be easy for people to doubt it.”
Zhou Jing didn't forget this, as a "dead man", he didn't leave his name swaggeringly when he kidnapped Root, and generally no one would suspect him... The hidden danger is recognized by those who have seen it, but As long as you leave the Northland, the chances should be small.
It's a pity that the Eternal Apostle can't adjust his appearance, otherwise he would have wanted to fine-tune his appearance when he put it on.
"There are more than 1,400 Tera silver coins on hand, the travel expenses are definitely enough, and there is a lot of money left to replace equipment and directly buy alien blood potions... In this case, if you encounter a hunter's workshop in other towns When you get good equipment or good potions, you can also directly buy the spot.”
Zhou Jing touched his chin and couldn't help thinking of Maggi.
A lot of good alien blood potions have been reserved, and I have no hunter certification in other towns. If I go to other towns to buy potions, I may be the same as Maggi, and local hunters will cut the queue.
If you think about it this way, it is better to pay attention to the alien beast crusade missions in various towns, hunt down powerful alien beasts with your own hands, and make alien blood potions for sure.
He also doesn't want to break the workshop's rule of supplying local hunters first. If he can't buy it with money, he will do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
With the follow-up plans in mind, Zhou Jing settled down, opened the achievement warehouse on the panel, and counted the inventory.
He saves all the achievement rewards triggered before. Currently, there are [Quality Enhancement - Physical Fitness (Small)] x3, [Attribute Enhancement - Physical Fitness (Micro)] x2, [Quality Enhancement - Resistance (Small)] x2, [Qualification Improvement - Comprehensive (Small)] x1.
There are still quite a few in stock.
Achievement rewards are given to new apostles. They can start faster and become stronger, grow faster, and facilitate customs clearance, but there is a risk of loss... So Zhou Jing has been saving up rewards.
For the Eternal Apostle, it may not be able to play a key role, but it will definitely not be a loss.
"Speaking of which, the kidnapping of Root has nothing to do with him. He is still a lord, so he's too unprofessional."
Zhou Jing slandered.
He thought about it, and clicked on a copy of [Quality Enhancement-Physical Fitness (Small)] for Jason to use.
[Done]
[Slightly improved physical fitness]
Zhou Jing couldn't help blinking when he saw that Jason was still a "dark green" physical aptitude.
Is this... a lift?
It's still green.
He used another copy, only this time before the familiar prompt popped up.
[Physical Qualification Change: [Dark Green] → [Light Blue]! ]
It seems that in the blue gear, two copies of [Qualification Upgrade (Small)] are needed to upgrade a small grade... Zhou Jing wrote it down.
He looked at the remaining aptitude upgrade rewards, and it seemed that the resistance aptitude could be raised by another notch... He didn't hesitate, and directly spent two copies of [Quality Enhancement - Resistance (Small)].
[Resistance [Light Blue]→[Blue]]
Zhou Jing took a deep breath and felt that his body seemed to be different, but he couldn't tell where the change had occurred. There was an inexplicable feeling of "connection".
The remaining aptitude upgrade rewards, one for physical fitness (small), and one for overall fitness (small), add up to another level of physical fitness, but Zhou Jing doesn't plan to use it.
The reward for the overall improvement of qualifications comes from the unique achievement of [Into the Transcendent], which is more precious and the explosion rate is not high.
He doesn't intend to use it to improve physical fitness. The purpose of this thing, he thinks, is to improve some unique qualifications that are difficult to generate targeted rewards, such as some systems with cultivation knowledge and rich routes— It always feels a little wasteful to give a muscle stick that relies solely on the body.
In addition to this, there are two [Attribute Improvement-Physical Energy (Micro)] that can be used as achievement rewards.
"I don't know if I can break the first-order limit of the property..."
Zhou Jing muttered secretly and tried to use one.
[Done]
[Physical attribute +1]
[Current physical fitness: 40(+4) (first-order max)]
[The rank bonus has reached 10% of the current attribute]
[Physical ability can break through to the second level]
"So it is." Zhou Jing's eyes lit up and he understood the mechanism.
The attribute of a field has reached a bottleneck, and subsequent enhancements will not be officially added to the attribute, but will become something called "rank bonus" - expressed in the panel attribute, which is the "in parentheses" +".
Intuitively reflects the accumulation progress of the bottleneck period, and records the improvement that is not included in the formal attributes... This part only counts the improvement of skills or extraordinary systems, and adding points cannot increase the rank bonus when pinching people. Valley
If the rank bonus exceeds a certain percentage of the current attribute, you can advance... From the perspective of ordinary people, it means accumulating and breaking through the bottleneck with years of training.
And to break through the first rank, the rank bonus must reach 10% of the attribute, that is, there is a (+4) progress.
Zhou Jing saw the option of "advanceable" appearing behind the physical fitness attribute, and immediately clicked it.
[(+4) rank bonus consumed]
[Improve physical fitness to level 2]
[Please choose a new trait from the following three]
[Note: Trait means to be better at one of the directions of the attribute, with special advantages]
[1. Savage physique - you have extraordinary brute strength and are better at strength]
[2. Agile posture - you have outstanding agility, faster than ordinary people]
[3. Long endurance - you have amazing endurance and rarely feel tired]
"It turns out that the advancement is not only about breaking the upper limit of the value, but also getting additional bonuses..."
Zhou Jing was refreshed.
Attributes are a summary of a comprehensive nature, which contains a lot of qualities. The same physical ability is also differentiated. Some people are strong, and some people are fast.
Jason was on the agile route, and he didn't hesitate for long before choosing the second option.
On paper, strength and speed seem to be separate, but according to his actual use experience...speed is power, and it is more dominant in battle.
[Selected, Trait generated]
[Current physical attribute: 40 (second order)]
[Physical Trait: [Agile posture]]
Zhou Jing shivered all over, as if he had broken some physical boundaries, the blood flowed rapidly, bringing a sense of fullness.
Suddenly, his body became lighter, as if his feet were off the ground and he could lift off like a balloon.
He made a dodging motion on the spot, almost leaving an afterimage, and the speed was not a single star.
Although the stamina is still 40 points, the increase in the trait is quite obvious. He made a rough estimate and it looks like it is about 10% or 20% faster than before... The actual performance is quite amazing.
"According to this range, the limit of the second-order should be 80 attributes... Well, Jason's resistance is already 31 points, and we can give priority to breaking through the first-order resistance."
Zhou Jing is in a happy mood.
The ontology hasn't advanced yet, and now it's time to let Jason try the effect of the trait. When the ontology chooses the route, you will know it.
He conveniently used another attribute boost to increase his stamina to 41 points before closing the panel.
Zhou Jing asked Ross to deal with Root's body, and he looked in the direction of Frostwood Village, his heart moved.
"I'm afraid I won't come back this time. Before leaving, let's take a look at the village..."
……
In the early morning, Frostwood Village.
A group of villagers stood at the entrance of the village, divided into two groups, saying goodbye to each other.
Today, several villagers were planning to move into Baiyuan City, and the village chief and other villagers came to see them off.
Several villagers said goodbye to everyone one by one, leading an ox cart, dragging their family and their families on the dirt road leaving the village.
"Someone left again..."
Grief pulled Reiner and stood in the farewell crowd, sighing softly.
Compared with half a year ago, the already remote Shuangmu Village is more deserted. Although no alien beasts have been encountered these days, more and more villagers have decided to move and hide in Baiyuan City.
One of the reasons why White Plains City has no time to defend the surrounding villages.
But the most direct reason is that Baron left Frostwood Village.
A few months ago, the imperial investigation team declared Root innocent and did not remove his lord position. Baron was furious and wanted to attack the lord, but was finally persuaded by Weber and others.
But because he couldn't accept this, Balon didn't want to stay in the White Plains City area, and simply left with Wes.
From a stationed hunter to a free hunter.
As he once said, only after a journey can you find a destination...I thought I found a destination, but in the end I found out that the destination is just a journey.
Before leaving, Baron summoned all the villagers and announced his decision. No matter how the villagers kept him, even if some villagers tried moral kidnapping, he didn't waver.
Have been stationed in Frostwood Village for several years, the villagers are used to the existence of Baron, but Baron doesn't owe the village anything~IndoMTL.com~ I will not regret anyone if I leave. When it was time to leave, he was not soft-hearted, and he would not feel that the rest of his life was tied to this place just because he had protected the village for a few years.
But Baron still cared about the safety of the villagers, and before leaving, he made a proposal, suggesting that the villagers move to Baiyuan City.
Without the garrison of alien hunters, Frostwood Village had no shelter, many villagers accepted the proposal and lived in safer towns.
Even Griff himself plans to move his family to White Plains City.
Sending off the group, Griff took Reiner to the cemetery, where he habitually wiped the graves of Will and Jason, then stepped back and stared at the tombstones of the Wood brothers for a long time.
After a long time, he sighed deeply.
"Alas...I don't know when I'll be back."
Leiner turned to look at him and blinked: "Are we moving?"
"Yeah, we'll be leaving in a few days." Griff touched his head.
Reiner bows her head to hide her excitement.
——He yearns for the outside world, and has long been unwilling to stay in the village.
Meanwhile, on the hills not far from the village, the woods of the Apothecary's Hut where Garma once lived.
Zhou Jing stood on the hill, overlooking the village in the distance.
He hurried back in the starry night, and when the villagers didn't know it, he explored the situation of the village and found that Baron had left.
But even if Baron didn't leave, Zhou Jing didn't plan to appear in front of everyone.
As long as the villagers are fine, it doesn't matter where they live.
Root was killed by himself, the situation in Baiyuan City will gradually improve, and this area will return to its former safety after a period of time.
After a long time, Zhou Jing retracted his gaze and patted Ross who was standing guard beside him.
"Let's go."
He turns away, walking away.
