The insurmountable Baishi Mountain
So, based on this, it means that as Tianmu Zhenjun's level increases and he devours more equipment, the reinforcement level can decrease even further!
This percentage refers to the ratio between physical strength and character strength!
As Tian Mu gets stronger, this ratio will decrease?
How many years will it take for me to reach 100% reinforcement?
Problems I can't figure out, I'll put aside for now!
Thinking too much is useless.
What Yang Jian needs to do now is quickly strengthen himself further and hunt Abyssal Monsters all over the world.
"Wait, that's not right! So how many Abyssal Monsters would a regular player need to kill for a complete first advancement?"
Based on a level 60 player with a full set of purple equipment... factoring in talent bonuses...
Those who aren't strong enough, on average, can get it done with eight or nine thousand.
I have fourteen thousand and I'm only at 33%?
Yang Jian felt a bit disheartened!
He didn't consider where ordinary players would get those eight or nine thousand Abyssal Essences!
Although he didn't know the future mechanics,
the Abyssal Lords wouldn't just watch players exploit bugs!
Want to treat Abyssal Minions like bosses?
Dozens, even hundreds, ganging up on one?
At that point, it's hard to say who would be ganging up on whom!
After this reinforcement,
Yang Jian's physical strength was already greater than that of an ordinary player who had reached level 60!
And now, he still needed to continue pushing forward.
To make himself even stronger!
Before heading to the Southeast Plains, I'll clear the guild dungeon first!
Opening the guild channel, the number of players inside startled Yang Jian!
Checking the guild information, he remembered that Bai Youyou had already started upgrading the guild before he went offline!
[Name: Star Palace, LV2]
[Guild Leader: Tianmu Zhenjun]
[Vice Guild Leader: 3 / 4]
[Officers: 9 / 15]
[Members: 15000 / 15000]
[Guild Points: 139260 / 10 Million]
[Guild Warehouse: Warehouse 1, East Market 13, Outer City, Zhenhai City.]
(Guild Territory requires binding with private property.)
[Guild City: None (Level 3 unlocks Guild City Quest.)]
[Guild Shop: Unsealed (Opens after owning a Guild City)]
[Guild Skills: (Omitted)...]
[Affiliated Guild: Stars Pavilion]
Looking at the guild information, Yang Jian felt like he might be a fake guild leader!
An affiliated guild that was already full, Yang Jian only found out about it after coming online... Yang Jian: What's the situation with Stars Pavilion?
Bai Youyou: It's our affiliated guild!
Yang Jian: Shouldn't something like this be reported to me?
Bai Youyou: Although you never look, the daily work summaries for the studio and guild are all on your desk...
Yang Jian: Is... is that so?
Bai Youyou: Asking that question just proves you really haven't looked...
Yang Jian: Alright then! What's the deal with this affiliated guild? Was it given for free?
Bai Youyou: What are you thinking? We bought it with a guild token! It can fit a thousand people, after all!
Yang Jian: Only a thousand? Isn't it fifteen hundred?
Bai Youyou: The first guild's reward characteristic couldn't be inherited by the affiliated guild! But we can establish chain territories in the future...
Hearing this, Yang Jian understood!
However, this affiliated guild definitely wouldn't be a priority for development!
He didn't have that much energy!
Yang Jian: I'm leading a dungeon run, are you coming?
Bai Youyou: I'm in the Southern Wilds, just landed... waiting for us to Hearthstone back!
Us...?
Hanging up the chat, Yang Jian continued to study his guild.
A Level 2 guild needs 1.5 million points to upgrade to Level 3... A normal Level 2 guild has ten thousand members.
Calculating at a rate of ten guild points per person per day, it would take five months to reach Level 3.
However, Star Palace had the First Guild characteristic, increasing the member limit by 50%!
Level 2 had five thousand more people than others, so it would only take three months to reach Level 3... To be honest, time was quite tight!
After all, the Abyssal Invasion couldn't be delayed for too long!
While waiting for the Purple-Gold Squad.
Yang Jian went to the mailbox and retrieved all the items Zhou Yue had mailed him these past few days.
No wonder she was his human-shaped cheat!
Yang Jian couldn't use them simply because there was no mailbox in the Dragon Tomb.
The mini toy mailbox could only receive very small items...
Equipment couldn't be retrieved at all!
Over forty pieces of various Level 25 purple equipment fell into Yang Jian's backpack.
He selected the leather armor he could use and equipped it!
Among them was also a Level 25 purple bow.
[Flash Strike Strongbow (Purple)]
[Equipment Level: 25]
[Attack + 220]
[Agility + 50]
[Stamina + 50]
[Critical Strike + 50]
[Durability: 70 / 70]
Yang Jian looked at this new bow and simply swapped out his skyfire hawk bow!
This Level 10 bow had accompanied Yang Jian through the first month of the server's launch!
He had originally planned to replace it with a new bow he had prepared once he reached Level 35.
Now that he had something usable, he might as well just replace it!
Just as he equipped the new weapon,
the Purple-Gold Squad appeared before Yang Jian.
As expected, all four members, except Xia Minglan, stood before Yang Jian.
Xia Minglan probably knew the guild leader wasn't too fond of her, so she rarely approached him.
As the saying goes: 'It's best not to meet at first, so as to avoid dislike'...
The five-person squad formed up and set off immediately; Yang Jian also wanted to level up quickly!
Without wasting time, they started with the Gravekeeper dungeon and finished with the Hai Chao Village dungeon.
With the Purple-Gold Squad's strength, there was still hope of clearing the Gravekeeper dungeon.
Unfortunately, although Bai Youyou had a gold-tier talent, it was more for internal affairs.
The two bosses were a bit difficult to fight!
Currently, no one in the guild, besides Yang Jian and Zhou Yue, could even attempt Hai Chao Village.
Eight minutes for the Gravekeeper dungeon, twelve minutes for Hai Chao Village!
Most of the time was spent on traveling.
Although the dungeon bosses couldn't be instantly killed, none of them survived for more than ten seconds.
"Wow, Guild Leader Uncle is so amazing!"
While Yang Jian was fighting monsters, Bai Xiaobai's mouth never stopped.
She flattered him in various ways!
Yang Jian felt a bit flattered... "Alright, it's all done, let's leave it at that!"
"Is Guild Leader Uncle leaving?"
Bai Xiaobai used to call him Boss Uncle, now she calls him Guild Leader Uncle!
She was quite a character!
"Yes, I need to go level up too!"
"Goodbye, Guild Leader Uncle..."
In private, Bai Xiaobai expressed dissatisfaction about not being taken along to level up.
But in front of her aunt, she wouldn't dare.
So, in Bai Youyou's eyes, Bai Xiaobai was an incredibly well-behaved child... "Sister Youyou, what's the current situation with the guild's ore and forging?"
"Ore belongs to materials. There are also quest requirements for the materials submitted by various small teams!"
She pondered for a moment.
"As for forging, it's handled by Liu Hao, whose ID is 'Level Seven Forger'... He used to be a forger at a steel mill, and later started playing games. He actually has a purple-tier forging talent. Also, the NPC Chen Ergou assists him!"
"Actually, Chen Ergou's skill is better than Liu Hao's, and he's also more dedicated to studying forging! But after all, he doesn't have a player system, so communication and such are inconvenient..."
Nodding in agreement, Yang Jian looked at his forging skill!
Including forging, he now had three professional skills...
A player could actually only have two professional skills!
But Yang Jian's was obtained through authority...
Now, he didn't dare to unlearn Mining and Skinning!
What if the system didn't allow the bug, and after unlearning, he could only learn one? That would be a huge loss.
"Why the sudden interest in forging?"
"Could you compile a table of all the types, qualities, and quantities of usable ore in the guild and send it to me later..."
Bai Youyou sighed.
"Okay, I'll send you a new, specialized ore report later. Also, if you want to see other things, like herbs, leather, etc., you can check yesterday's daily summary, dear..."
Yang Jian: ... Just talk, why are you gritting your teeth?
The Purple-Gold Squad went to the flight point to take a Luan bird to the Southern Wilds near Iron Mine Ridge.
The whole journey would take about half an hour!
Honestly, spending half an hour to get the experience and drops from two dungeons was a huge gain for them!
Yang Jian walked out of the city walls, transformed into his flying form... and took off.
Because Yang Jian wasn't riding a mount and running around.
No matter which travel form, essentially, Yang Jian relied on his own agility and stamina to fly.
If he bought a mount, then how fast he ran would depend entirely on the mount's ability.
He could run as fast as he could!
Yang Jian learned riding at Level 20.
He also visited Zhenhai City's horse market to see various mounts.
Green mounts were terrible, like a second-hand Mazda.
They could only run 60 kilometers per hour.
Although Yang Jian thought it was slow, it was much faster than many low-agility professions!
Blue mounts were much better, like Nissan or Honda.
They could go up to 120 kilometers on the highway, no faster!
Any faster, and the car would start to drift... Yang Jian hadn't seen any mounts above blue quality.
He wondered what they were like.
Zhenhai City didn't sell them either!
However, the transformation brought by the ring in Yang Jian's hand was unaffected.
The speed depended entirely on Yang Jian's agility and stamina.
Low agility meant not flying fast!
Low stamina meant not flying far...
Yang Jian was both fast and far-flying.
As his speed gradually increased, Yang Jian became a little curious!
Now that he could fly, even though White Stone Mountain was steep, it couldn't stop him!
Should he go take a look?
Let's go take a look!
Thinking it, Yang Jian did it. He tilted his head, changed direction,
and flew directly towards the northern mountain range!
Yang Jian followed the water veins of the White Stone Heavenly River.
After flying past the steep cliffs, the scenery before him suddenly opened up.
Only after climbing the cliffs of White Stone Mountain did he realize how vast this mountain was.
Mountains connected to mountains, mountains next to mountains!
Flying in the sky, he couldn't see the end.
He could only see a giant iceberg at the distant horizon, spanning the entire view.
Caw, caw!
Yang Jian was just thinking that since he was fast, others traveled a thousand li a day.
He could fly a thousand li in an hour.
He could totally go see what the entire Eastern Continent looked like!
Unfortunately, plans couldn't keep up with sudden changes!
More than ten wild monsters, resembling vultures or eagles, surrounded him from a distance!
[Carrion Eagle, LV50]
[Beast, Normal]
[Health: 100,000]
[Skills: ...]
Such a group of Level 50 normal-grade Carrion Eagles... If calculated by attack power, Yang Jian felt he wouldn't even need to transform; his flying form could kill these eagles in two hits!
The unfortunate thing was that these guys were Level 50...
The level suppression was really annoying!
Perhaps because his own level was too low,
Yang Jian was continuously attracting surrounding flying wild monsters.
Speed and everything were entirely determined by his own attributes.
With Yang Jian's attributes!
Let alone Level 50 Carrion Eagles, even Level 60 or 70 monsters might not have his agility and speed.
But if he continued forward, he didn't know how many creatures would besiege him!
What if he attracted a BOSS that could hold him back... leading to an ambush with enemies ahead and pursuers behind!
That would really be playing for high stakes!
His path to greatness was right before his eyes.
There was no need to take unnecessary risks at this moment.
Changing direction.
A dive and acceleration shook off the swarming Carrion Eagles behind him.
Just as Yang Jian turned back to taunt them, the sound of a giant object flying through the air came from below.
A Z-shaped maneuver dodged a huge rock flying from below.
Yang Jian looked down.
[Cyclops Goron, LV55]
[Demi-human race, Ogre, Elite]
[Health: 1 Million]
[Skills: ...]
Ogre?
That's what they look like?
This guy was at least five times the size of Moke Zug, whom Yang Jian had killed.
Moke Zug was already three meters tall!
This guy was at least ten meters tall; was this even the same species?
Yang Jian found that many low-level wild monsters were simply copy-pasted designs by the gods.
The so-called mountain lions and wolves actually had no essential difference!
Even tigers and wild boars had the same fundamental combat power...
But at higher levels, the differences between different races were even greater than the differences between humans and pigs.
He gave a deep look at the Goron throwing rocks at him!
He had no other special qualities, just that he held a grudge!
You just wait... What if I can't find you or distinguish you later?
I'll just slaughter this entire area!
Then I won't have to look, right...?
