Chapter 709 The Threshold of the Breaker
Mo Liudao laughed loudly, stretched out his hand, patted Su Li on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, we will all be brothers from now on, let's go, let's chat over there, and introduce you to three friends by the way."
While talking, he pulled Su Li, and came to the other three people. Now the skeleton monsters around were almost cleared up. Before the skeleton monsters in the distance appeared, Mo Liudao pointed at the other two men and a woman towards Su Li. Introduce it.
"This is Kou Yongbo, this is Zhang Yuan, and this beautiful girl is Yang Fan."
Su Li smiled and greeted them one by one, and the three of them also greeted Su Li kindly.
"His name is Su Li, he is my little brother, and I was his guide before."
Mo Liudao's words surprised all three of them.
"Brother Mo, are you his guide? Then he..." They all knew that Mo Liudao was the guide of "Jiangdong Province" before, and he broke through to the fort not long ago.
Since Mo Liudao is Su Li's guide, there is only one possibility, and Su Li is one of this group of newcomers.
Mo Liudao nodded and said, "That's right, Su Li is a newcomer this time, but he's broken through now."
After receiving confirmation from Mo Liudao, both Kou Yongbo and Zhang Yuan gasped, and the girl named Yang Fan also looked at Su Li with a surprised expression.
They all secretly used their voyeuristic abilities to see Su Li's information, but unfortunately Su Li has the ability to block information, so no one can see his information.
Su Li also quietly checked their profile, and the first thing he looked at was Mo Liudao's profile.
"Name: Martial Dao Grandmaster, Level: Level 3, Talent: Martial Dao Mastery, Domain: Martial Dao Domain, Noble Phantasm: Six Fingers of the Universe, Weapon: Fire Ghost Rock Battle Axe, Combat Strength Evaluation of the Same Level: Superior."
Look at Xu Tianyu's profile again.
"Name: Guardian of the Earth, Level: Level 1, Talent: Movement at the Speed of Light, Domain: Earth Domain, Noble Phantasm: Wisdom, Weapon: Light·Purple Aura, Combat Strength Evaluation at the same level: Superior."
Su Li remembered that they left the southern base around the same time. At the same time, Mo Liudao had been promoted to a third-level boundary-breaker, but Xu Tianyu was still a first-level boundary-breaker. This made him feel a little nervous. Rin, is this the difference between relying on oneself to break through and eating the fruit of breaking through?
Look at Kou Yongbo and Zhang Yuan again,
They are all first-level boundary breakers, Kou Yongbo is a top-level combat power, Zhang Yuan is the weakest, and he is actually a medium-level boundary breaker at the same level.
I wondered in my heart, could this circle also be eaten as a breaking fruit? Otherwise, it would be difficult for a middle-level fighter to break through on his own. Let's look at Yang Fan's profile.
"Name: Heavenly Holy Knight, Level: Level 3, Talent: Doom-ridden, Undead Cells, Domain: Heavenly Holy Domain, Noble Phantasm: God-Breaking Orb, Weapon: Dark Dragon Slaying Blood Blade, Combat Strength Evaluation of the Same Level: Super .”
According to the data, among the five, Yang Fan is the most powerful.
Su Li chatted briefly with everyone, then winked at Mo Liudao, he wanted to talk to Mo Liudao alone.
Seeing Su Li winking at him, Mo Liudao guessed that he must have something to talk to him in private, and seeing the crowd of Skeleton Kings appearing again, he said with a smile: "You wait here for me while you slowly kill monsters. Su Li has some personal matters, let's talk alone."
After that, Mo Liudao took Su Li and headed towards the other side of Skull Island, while Xu Tianyu, Yang Fan and the other four slowly backed away, as if they were not interested in the attacking Skeleton King.
Accompanying Mo Liudao, Su Li walked along the edge of Skull Island at a leisurely pace.
"Tell me, is there anything you want to ask me? There is a shortage of people in the fourth fortress. If you break through, you should be assigned to the fourth fortress. Why did you end up in the third fortress?"
Mo Liudao saw that he was far away from Xu Tianyu and the others, so he opened his mouth with a smile on his face. He knew that Su Li must have something to ask himself.
Su Li said: "Although I have broken through, the people at the base don't know that I came here privately."
Mo Liudao was stunned, and then he smiled and said: "There is such a thing, no wonder you ran to the third fortress, which is the closest to 'Jiangdong Province'. Although you didn't pass the base, it's nothing, the fortress management is not good enough. Yan, as long as we old people can enter, and then choose a fort to register. Except for the guards of each fort, most newcomers will choose to be free men. It will take about half a year before they can consider joining the guards. Su Li, since you have broken through, do you want to join our team?"
Su Li hesitated for a moment before saying: "What does it mean to be a free man? Why did you join the guard army after half a year? I read the conditions for the guard army before, and it seems quite generous."
Mo Liudao explained patiently: "The free man means that although I am registered in this fortress, I am considered a member of this fortress, but the fortress will not deliberately restrict your actions. As long as you do not do things that endanger the fortress, basically you will not I will take care of you, so I am called a free man. As for the advantage of registering in a fortress, you can accumulate military merits in this fortress if you register in that fortress. This military merit is very important."
"Generally, newcomers will find a fortress to register at the beginning and become a free man, because the main benefit of a free man is freedom. They can take various adventures around the fortress, find opportunities, and improve their strength. Once they join the guard army, they need to be guarded for a long time. The fortress is not so free anymore."
Su Li asked curiously: "Since that's the case, then everyone will become free men. Who would like to join the guard army?"
Mo Liudao smiled and said: "In the beginning, everyone will naturally choose to become a free man, because they all want to improve themselves, but many people are sure that they will not be able to advance to breakthrough, so they will choose to join the guard army and start serving, wanting to be as fast as possible. To accumulate military merit, or meritorious service, you can only join the guard army, so that you can leave the fortress and get a good position after you have accumulated enough military merit."
"For example, to become the executive officer of a major base, or to enter the base headquarters, or to become the lord of each city, etc., one must have enough military merit. The greater the military merit obtained, the more prominent the position that can be assigned when leaving the fortress in the future. Like the executive officer and justice in our southern base before, the other officers may be able to join if they have connections, but if you want to become the top two executive officers and justices, you must have certain military merits. , The two of them once also served in this fortress."
Listening to Mo Liudao's explanation, Su Li gradually came to understand that perhaps entering this fortress to serve in military service is like a springboard leading to the real high-level. If one wants to sit in some important positions, one must have outstanding military achievements.
"By the way, Brother Mo, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Is there any difference between relying on yourself to break through the realm and eating through the fruit?" I thought that Mo Liudao and Xu Tianyu broke through the realm at about the same time, and now they are at the third level. One level, if there is no difference, he can't believe it.
Mo Liudao nodded and said: "Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge. I guess you should have seen our information, so you must have seen the difference in our level."
Su Li blushed, and had no choice but to nod. In fact, both parties just now knew that each other was secretly spying on them.
Mo Liudao said with a smile: "I guess you don't believe it. In fact, the five of us broke through the border at about the same time, and then arrived at the fourth fortress. Except for Yang Fan, Xu Tianyu, Kou Yongbo, and Zhang Yuan and I are all from the southern base, so we formed A small team was formed, and Yang Fan was added later, and we formed a small team."
"Among the five of us, Yang Fan and I rely on ourselves to break through the realm, so in the same period of time, we were promoted to the third level. Xu Tianyu, Kou Yongbo and Fang Yuan are still at the first level because they relied on eating the realm-breaker fruit." , it is even possible that they will only be a first-level boundary breaker for the rest of their lives."
"After a while, if there is still no improvement, they will probably join the guard army to see if they can make a military exploit. Maybe they have a chance to get the reward of breaking the boundary, although the probability is very small."
Su Li was slightly surprised: "Could it be that the side effect of eating the Boundary Breaking Fruit is that you can't break through and improve in the future? Or is it more difficult to improve and break through?"
Judging from Mo Liudao's tone, the reason why Xu Tianyu and the others were still only first-level boundary breakers within the same period of time was because they ate the boundary breaking fruit.
Mo Liudao shook his head and said, "Actually speaking, in theory, eating the Boundary Breaker Fruit has no side effects, but in practice, if it is not forced, most people want to rely on themselves to break the boundary, and no one will eat the Boundary Breaker fruit casually." fruit."
Su Li was confused by what he said, and looked at Mo Liudao.
Mo Liudao knew that Su Li would not be able to understand, and said, "Actually, you can understand with a simple example. Suppose we regard the breakthrough we need after level 20 as climbing a mountain with an altitude of 1,000 meters, then relying on ourselves to break the boundary It is equivalent to climbing this thousand-meter mountain by yourself, and those who cannot break through are those who have poor physical strength, and they cannot climb this thousand-meter mountain by themselves."
Hearing his explanation, Su Li thought thoughtfully, and said, "Then what about eating the Boundary Breaking Fruit?"
Mo Liudao said with a smile: "Eating the broken state fruit is like taking a cable car from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Judging from the final result, no matter whether you climbed the mountain by yourself or took the cable car, you have all reached the top of the mountain... ..."
"But there is also a problem that comes with it. After breaking through the realm, every time you advance to a level, it feels like you have to climb a thousand-meter mountain again. For those who rely on themselves to break through, climbing a thousand-meter mountain again is naturally not a big problem , but for the person who took the cable car up the mountain before, he still can't climb the thousand-meter mountain, so Xu Tianyu and the three people who rely on the breakthrough fruit to break through all stop at the first level. So far, they have not been able to break through and be promoted to level two."
Su Li understood, and said: "So, unless they get the breakthrough fruit again and take another soft cable car, can they continue to advance to breakthrough?"
Mo Liudao nodded and said: "Yes, even those who need to rely on the state-breaking fruit for the first time, they will not be able to continue to be promoted unless they have enough state-breaking fruits. Boundary Fruits, and it is said that the further you go, the more Boundary Breaking Fruits you need... Of course, whether this is true or not, I have heard people say it, but the details are not very clear, after all, people who cannot rely on themselves to break through There are too many of them, which makes the supply of Boundary Breaking Fruits always in short supply. One of the advantages of joining the Guard Army is that if you make enough military achievements, you may be rewarded with Boundary Breaking Fruits. This alone has attracted countless people who cannot break through. join in."
Su Li thoughtfully said: "It turns out that those who succeeded in relying on their own state-breaking fruit for the first time can continue to be promoted afterwards, while those who rely on the state-breaking fruit, in all likelihood, need to rely on the state-breaking fruit all the time."
Mo Liudao said with a smile: "Of course there are exceptions. For example, at the beginning, I relied on the cable car to go up the mountain, but after I gradually exercised my physical strength, I could climb up to a thousand-meter mountain by myself. At that time, I didn't need to rely on the cable car. But the possibility of this is really too low. After all, every time you are promoted, the difficulty actually increases to a certain extent. If the first breakthrough is to climb a thousand-meter mountain, then promotion to the second level is equivalent to climbing a mountain. A mountain with a height of 1,100 meters, level 3, is equivalent to 1,200 meters... Although the increase each time is not too much, after all, the overall difficulty is gradually increasing... It will not even start I can’t even climb the 1,000-meter mountain, but I will soon be able to climb the 1,100-meter mountain.”
He paused slightly when he said this, and continued: "But when it comes time to advance to the fifth-level boundary breaker, the difficulty suddenly increases a lot, so many people in the major fortresses are trapped in the fourth-level , can no longer break through."
When Mo Liudao said this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Including me, I am confident to be promoted to the fourth-level boundary breaker, but if I want to break through to the fifth level... then it's hard to say."
"So that's how it is." Su Li finally understood why many of the boundary breakers he saw all the way before stopped at the fourth level, while other boundary breakers who had not reached the fourth level were either just eating the boundary breaking fruit and couldn't break through, or Just like Mo Liudao and the others, they are newcomers who have just entered the fortress.
Mo Liudao sighed and said, "I've made up my mind. After being promoted to the fourth level, if I can't break through, I'll work hard for half a year and try my best. If I still can't break through, I'll join the guards. Accumulate military merit, with military merit, it is possible to change to Pojinguo, and when you retire in the future, you can also be assigned to a better position."
When Mo Liudao finished this sentence, he felt a little disappointed. Although he had a lot of things he wanted to do, he also knew in his heart that it took nearly a year for him to break through for the first time. After these days of hard work, it shouldn't be a big problem to become a level four boundary breaker, but it is not very likely to break through to level five.
Level 5 is the first important threshold for boundary breakers. Before reaching level 5, they can only be regarded as a group of low-level boundary breakers. For the entire old human race, they still belong to the lower class and can be regarded as big shots in the lower class.
The so-called lower class, including the annual batch of newcomers, residents of the major bases, guides, inspectors, and even the nine chiefs of the base, all belong to this class.
