Astral Apostle Chapter 10: Placement and determination
With a shock, he returned to the starry space.
"I'm back?"
Zhou Jing looked down and confirmed that he was not using the carrier "Will Wood" at this time, but his original appearance.
Phew, I'm finally back, the feeling of being in a coma from poisoning is really uncomfortable... Zhou Jing grinned.
When using the astral apostle, the consciousness will not be separated from the body's senses, it is 100% real, and the pain is real pain.
The huge fluorescent panel is suspended in front of the eyes, and the information received before is displayed on it synchronously.
"Actually stayed for six days... So after I was poisoned, I was almost in a coma for two days. Griff took me, the wounded, for so long in the forest..."
Zhou Jing pondered.
There are dangers in the forest, and the threat of the Earth Skeletons has not disappeared. They are not the true companions of the hunters. They can abandon their burden... But now it seems that their so-called kindness is not just talk.
A brief adventure, an attempt at a different life, is deeply ingrained in retrospect.
Zhou Jing suppressed his emotions and looked at the next column of information.
The panel shows that a total of 163 astral points have been collected in this experience, and all of my astral points have accumulated to 1468.
Many actions of the astral apostles, such as fighting, practicing, surviving and even eating, etc., can collect free astral energy and turn them into astral points.
However, unlike the immediate benefits of triggering achievements, the astral points collected by these daily actions will only be counted and settled when the Astral Apostle is released and consciousness returns, and the collected results will be brought back at one time.
Zhou Jing opened the statistical details of this item, which listed which behaviors in this experience were collected to the astral point, which looked very trivial.
It's as big as killing alien beasts, as small as what you eat every day, all have astral points in your account, and even simple sleep has very little profit.
"So as long as the astral apostle is alive and breathing, you can continue to collect astral points..."
Zhou Jing scratched his head.
The bulk of the income this time is mainly from killing the White Spider Monster, and the rest is the sum of all kinds of odds and ends.
At the bottom of the collection details, two pieces of information caught his attention:
[Sync Rate Bonus: 0%]
[Legendity bonus: 0%]
Synchronization rate and legendary degree can increase the daily total income of regression settlement, which is equivalent to improving the efficiency of the apostles collecting astral points.
The synchronization rate of the body of "Will Wood" had increased to 32% before the return, but there was no bonus. He estimated that the synchronization rate must be above a certain standard in order to get the bonus.
And the popularity seems to be related to the influence caused by the astral apostles, what deeds were left, how many people paid attention to, etc. Based on Zhou Jing's not too rich experience analysis... This legend may be equivalent to Something like personal reputation.
After closing the statistical details, Zhou Jing looked at the next item, which read "The experience log has been recorded, and the relevant exploration results have been entered into the illustrated book".
"What does this mean..."
When he thought about it, the panel suddenly flashed, and an extension interface popped up on the left and right.
Left interface:
["Astral Apostles"]
[No. 001: Will Wood (survival) - can view detailed attributes, experience log]
[Number 002: None]
Right interface:
["Record Book"]
[1. Talent class]
[2. Skills]
[3. Super energy system class]
[4. Accessibility class]
[5. Trait personality class]
Zhou Jing became interested, studied it, and roughly understood what these were.
The "Astral Apostle Register" records all the Astral Apostles that have been created, whether dead or alive.
Click on a name in the roster to query the file of the astral apostle, and you can also query the experience log of the astral apostle.
The form of the experience log is a video, which contains all the experiences of this astral apostle as a memorandum.
Zhou Jing tried to watch a few paragraphs, all of which were images from the first-person perspective of the carrier, which were all things that he personally experienced not long ago. If you forget the details, you can directly query the relevant images without confusing your understanding.
The Book of Records records all the abilities of the Astral Apostle templates that he has used, and can be queried intuitively. Currently, there is only the ability of "Will Wood".
In addition to the function of recording, the Pokédex is also equivalent to a material library for pinching people. When creating a new Astral Apostle, you can specify the ability to inherit other Astral Apostles from the Pokédex, and generate it in the template of the new carrier. Just according to the selected ability, the amount of Astral Points will be consumed.
"So the more Astral Apostles you use, the richer your roster and illustrations will be... But it seems that new Astral Apostles can only be created if the previous Astral Apostle clears or dies."
Zhou Jing secretly took note, closed these two interfaces, and continued to read.
The cooling time for the next release is 12 hours... This is understandable, the main body must spend at least 12 hours before the consciousness can be re-released into the astral apostles as before.
It doesn't seem to be forced. When the time comes, you can shuttle if you want to, or you can choose freely.
Zhou Jing looked to the last column of information:
[Please formulate an action plan for the placement of the astral apostles...]
The reason why the panel stays in this settlement interface is because the follow-up operation has not been performed.
As soon as he chooses to continue, the settlement interface immediately disappears and a new page is replaced:
[Place object: Will Wood]
[The highest synchronization rate record: 32% (second stage)]
[The upper limit of placement income: astral point 0/2000, information particle 0/20]
[Please set the main action target, secondary action focus, event processing mode, combat mode, interactive mode...]
[Hint: During placement, the sync rate will not increase. The higher the synchronization rate, the better the astral apostles can deal with complex events and act flexibly according to the placement plan]
[Hint: When the Astral Apostle executes the placement action plan, the behavior mode still has the template trait personality]
Zhou Jing read it once, and was immediately stunned.
"Idle mode... It turned out to be like this after the return. When I don't control the astral apostle, he will act according to the plan I set by himself, just like those robots with standard artificial intelligence in the main world? The placement plan is equivalent to establishing the behavior program and logic chain of the robot..."
He originally guessed that if he returned, the astral apostles would disappear together, or another plane time would be suspended or something.
Now it seems that the time of another world is still flowing continuously. The astral apostle stays in this world, acts according to the placement plan set by himself, and automatically collects astral energy.
However, unlike the personal control, the Astral Apostle has a limit in collecting astral points in the placement mode, which depends on the synchronization rate.
Every 25% synchronization rate is a dividing line, which is divided into four stages. Every time you increase a stage, the upper limit of placement income will increase.
The base placement yield cap depends on template rarity. When the synchronization rate is increased by one stage, the upper limit of the placement income will at least double, so the upper limit of the placement income of the fourth synchronization rate is at least eight times that of the first stage.
When an apostle's cumulative total revenue in the placement mode reaches the upper limit, it will no longer be able to obtain placement revenue, and it is necessary to personally descend to increase the synchronization rate to expand the upper limit of revenue.
Only the Astral Apostle who has cleared the level and the synchronization rate reaches the fourth stage will not have a revenue cap.
Zhou Jing nodded secretly: "So improving the synchronization rate is a high-priority goal. Compared with personal control, the time spent in the placement mode should be longer for the astral apostles."
He looked over the specifics of the placement plan carefully.
The placement scheme has a number of configurable items that cover many aspects.
He summed it up and simply divided it into two categories, one is the action target and the other is the action mode.
The former is to decide the purpose of the Astral Apostle's placement of actions, whether to explore new areas or stay in place, whether to focus on practice or do things everywhere.
If it is more detailed, it can also be specific to a certain detail, such as choosing to focus on cultivation, setting the level of which skill to improve first, and so on.
The latter is a mode of handling various events, such as radical, conservative, balanced, etc., but will be affected by the characteristics of this astral apostle, personality, style, position, etc.
"Try it first and see what the specific results of the placement mode look like..."
Zhou Jing thought about it for a while, and quickly set up the placement plan this time, all of which were conservative and balanced.
Take a look at it first.
[The placement plan has been saved and will take effect immediately]
[Whether to open the map overview mode, additionally specify the activity area during placement, and plan the activity track? ]
[Hint: No need to specify, the astral apostles will decide the activity area according to the placement plan according to the situation]
The interface of the map overview mode popped up. This time, it was no longer completely black, but a small area was added. It was the area that Zhou Jing walked through in the black-shirted forest. You can zoom in and out.
In addition, this time, the unknown area has also become optional, as the exploration target in the Astral Apostle placement mode.
"Do not specify a region."
Zhou Jing refused.
There's nothing special to explore at the moment, so I'll just wait for Griff and the others to bring the astral apostle "Will Wood" to Frostwood Village and unlock that area.
After completing these operations, the panel flashes, the interface for placing the scheme disappears, and new information appears:
[End of setup]
[shuttle reserve space closed]
[Next countdown: 12 hours]
Suddenly, Zhou Jing's vision turned black.
In the next second, the line of sight resumed, and the fluorescent panel and the starry space were no longer in front of him, but returned to his room.
Outside the window is still neon flashing, illuminating the steel forest-like high-rise buildings and the flying vehicles passing through them.
Zhou Jing blinked.
This is back?
I thought it would **** me into the crevice like a shuttle in the astral world...
"By the way, what time is it?"
Zhou Jing thought of this, sat up from the bed, and turned on the electronic clock on his mobile phone.
It's five in the morning.
He estimated the time he slept, more than six hours had passed.
In the preparatory stage of the shuttle, it shows that the shuttle time can be set by yourself. The default is six hours of the main body. The time flow difference between the two worlds is converted into the stay time of one shuttle in the astral world.
Zhou Jing was still full of energy at this time, and did not feel any fatigue.
"I travel through the astral world by throwing consciousness. During this period, is my body sleeping and dormant? If someone wakes me up during this process, will I continue to travel, or will I return immediately? Like It's like being woken up from sleep?"
Zhou Jing was a little curious.
He spent six days in the astral world~IndoMTL.com~ has a deep memory, but during these days, he remembered the overworld from time to time, and there was no confusion.
I don't know if it was an illusion or not. Zhou Jing found that his memory had improved a lot, but with a thought, he recalled his own experience on the day before the shuttle.
Well, I just went home after the interview and was informed by my family that I needed to pay for the forced immigration quota for my family, and my life plan was disrupted...
Zhou Jing let out a light breath, but he was not as disappointed and resentful as when he first heard the news.
After a few days of calmness in the astral shuttle, and a walk between life and death, he suddenly thought of a lot of things.
Although he didn't get any benefit from changing his body, he found that his mentality changed.
There has never been a moment, like taking off a layer of invisible burden, light to the bones, as if boundless freedom.
Zhou Jing's eyes changed, and he finally made up his mind and let out a long breath.
"It seems that a decision has to be made."
…
…
Outside the Blackshirt Forest lies a meandering creek as clear as a sapphire sapphire, and on the other side of the creek is a verdant field.
On the field, there is a human village called Frostwood Village, which stands by the river and builds a small stone bridge on the river to connect the forest.
The sky is bright and the dawn is faint. In the peaceful village, the farmers yawned out of the house, brought their farming tools, and prepared to go to work in the fields.
At this moment, three embarrassed figures with people on their backs ran out of the forest on the opposite bank, stepped on the stone bridge, and stumbled into the village, shouting anxiously as they ran, quickly attracting the attention of many villagers.
"They are dying, save people!"
"Call the witch doctor over!"
For a time, the whole village was lively.
