Chapter 689: Promotion to Apprentice Knight

Every day, after returning to Morey Castle, Zhou Xiaobo will continue his apprentice knight training after lunch or dinner. Anyway, he has enough energy points, so he is not afraid of overtraining and starving at night.

After so many days in a row, Zhou Xiaobo finally refined 10 points of energy, successfully entered the ranks of apprentice knights, and became a first-level apprentice knight.

At this time, Zhou Xiaobo felt that his physical fitness had almost doubled. According to attributes, his original basic attribute was considered to be 1 point, so now it has been fully upgraded to 2 points.

"It's fair to double it!"

This point seems to be a bit of an advantage to Zhou Xiaobo, but it is not the case.

Although he became an apprentice knight because he was older and his physical fitness was not bad, and his attributes doubled, which was much higher than that of younger children after being promoted to an apprentice knight, but the bonus of an apprentice knight was only equivalent to So a BUFF is not a hard target.

In layman's terms, when anyone is promoted to an apprentice knight, his physical fitness will be doubled, whether it is an ordinary child with 1 point of all attributes, or a special race with 100 points of all attributes, it is the same.

And this characteristic of doubling physical fitness will accompany a person's life, and will not be affected by birth, old age, sickness and death. No matter what a person's state is, whether he is in the prime of life or in old age, only his most basic attributes will change. Rather than the strength bonus BUFF brought by the same level.

"This also seems to be able to perfectly explain the contradiction of why the strength of the elderly powerhouses declines but their ranks can still be maintained. It seems quite reasonable!"

Zhou Xiaobo thought for a while, and felt that if equal ranks were just buffs, and physical fitness was added by a fixed multiple, then the most important attribute was the most basic attribute.

Calculated in this way, childhood is indeed the most suitable for cultivation and promotion. After all, it is definitely easier to increase physical fitness from 1 point to 2 points than to increase physical fitness from 10 points to 20 points. "Double", but there is a world of difference in the amount of increase in pure numerical value.

With the increase of age, after entering adulthood, the most basic physical fitness is basically close to the peak of human beings. Of course, this is under the premise of maintaining reasonable training, but in any case, it is actually necessary to improve the level during this period. is more difficult.

It's just because adulthood is relatively long, and IQ and other aspects have been improved, and willpower is likely to be tempered to a higher level, so it is still more suitable for cultivation. As long as the talent is not bad, the level can still continue to improve.

But in the middle age, the improvement of the level is very slow, and even stagnant. At this time, whether it is physical vitality or the interference of many trivial matters from the outside world, a middle-aged person will become greasy, unlike Childhood and youth are so pure, coupled with the fact that the most basic physical fitness has begun to decline, the overall strength may even show signs of decline, giving people a sense of depression, and if you want to continue to practice and improve your level, it can be said to be Difficult. In layman's terms, it means that you have lost your energy.

As for the old age, although the level will not decline, the physical fitness improvement multiple BUFF obtained still exists, but the most basic physical fitness has been declining. Even if the improvement multiple remains unchanged, the overall strength will continue to decrease. It can be said that It’s going downhill, and it’s still a big downhill like a "slide". After all, people who train knights tend to be in better physical condition. If they really show old age, they are basically sick kind of

The body will break down in a short period of time, so it can basically be ignored.

Zhou Xiaobo made a rough numerical division of human beings based on his own cognition. In childhood, the physical attribute should be below 1 point. When he is an adult, he can basically reach 1 point. After training, it is even more It can reach 3 points—this is roughly inferred by Zhou Xiaobo based on the difference between the most basic attributes of ordinary people and those who undergo knight training—and Zhou Xiaobo's attributes at this time should be around 1 point. If the attribute is 1 point, the physical value is 15 points.

Of course, these are numerical standards set by Zhou Xiaobo himself, but as long as he can measure his physical fitness and derived attributes relatively accurately, it is enough.

After being promoted to an apprentice knight, Zhou Xiaobo got a BUFF of all attributes*2, which means that his full attributes reached 2 points, and his physical strength reached 30 points.

Among them, the full attribute refers to the basic attribute, and the physical value is the same as the upper limit of the life value and the upper limit of the mana value, which belong to the combat attribute.

With the improvement of physical strength, Zhou Xiaobo can already devour stronger beast corpses.

It's just that for the time being, he still doesn't dare to leave the castle at will and enter the real mountain forest to hunt wild animals. To be on the safe side, he still spends his spare time in this bush forest. Although the prey in it is getting less and less, hunting The efficiency is getting lower and lower, but it can be regarded as a relatively safe hunting channel for Zhou Xiaobo, the key is that he has no choice.

"Not bad. If things go on like this, you should be able to reach the level of a second-level apprentice knight in a few days. At that time, you may be able to follow those hunters into the mountains to hunt. Anyway, they don't need the meat of wild animals. They only need fur, some bones, claws and teeth. Wait, everyone gets what they need." Before becoming a trainee knight, Zhou Xiaobo could refine 2 points of energy per day on average, which was slightly lower than his devouring gain, but after being promoted to trainee knight

It is worth mentioning that in this world, people actually have an innate fear of wild beasts, including fierce beasts and monsters, because many wild beasts have their own unique skills and survival instincts, either with It is highly poisonous, or the meat is rough and difficult to eat. Of course, Zhou Xiaobo estimates that the relatively poor cooking skills in this world play a key role-it is not that the food in this world is not delicious, but that the cooking skills are relatively limited, especially Few of the strong people who go out to hunt are good at cooking, and the prey is inconvenient to bring back whole, which leads to a relatively low level of cooking skills for "game". Eat the meat of wild beasts, ferocious beasts, and monsters that may be "killing" at any time—but Zhou Xiaobo doesn't care about those, as long as the consumption of devouring does not exceed the upper limit of his physical strength, he can devour it at will, and he doesn't have to worry about it in the wild The bloody smell from the beast meat attracts more powerful enemies.

As for fur, bones, claws, teeth and other high-value items, they are easier to deal with, and the smell of blood on them can be easily eliminated, so hunters, mercenaries, and adventurers can survive.

Of course, the main targets of the latter two are actually ferocious beasts and magical beasts, and there will be other trophies, such as magic cores. In short, according to the information collected by Zhou Xiaobo, no one has competed with him for "business".

However, although the rewards would be greater if he entered the mountain, the risk would not be small, so he would at least wait until he was promoted to the second-level apprentice knight before going out.
