Chapter 145 New Abilities and New Buildings

Although the version update does not take long, it still feels like a year to the players who are eagerly waiting.

So, at the moment when the maintenance ended, a group of long-awaited players rushed into the game.

Kill monsters? What monsters?

The first thing the players did was to experience the new features.

[Candlelight Bone Whistle: Blow the bone whistle to summon a candlelight spirit horse as your means of transportation. ]

[Unlocking ability requires: 100 wax oil]

When the players saw the new ability, they were of course laughing.

But when they saw that it took 100 wax oil to unlock the ability, they immediately retracted their teeth.

"Damn, 100 wax oil, why don't you go grab it when it's so damn expensive!"

"Tonics, I really don't want to be a jailer anymore!"

"When will this game open a recharge channel, please! My liver really can't stand it!"

For a while, the players wailed.

But there are naturally rich guys among the players, such as Mushroom who doesn't have to go to work today.

"One hundred wax oil? So cheap?" Mushroom waved his hand and unlocked both skills.

[You have consumed 100 wax oil to unlock a new ability: Candlelight Bone Whistle]

[You have consumed 100 wax oil to unlock a new ability: Critical Strike]

The power of the spiritual candle circled around Mushroom's candle spirit body and then turned into two streams, one turned into a white jade bone whistle placed in the palm of his hand, and the other merged into his body.

"Damn it, the boss is the boss, 200 wax oil was taken out casually!"

"Mushroom is a profiteer! I don't know how much wax oil he has stored!"

"Capitalist, spit!"

"A seat under the street lamp!"

The other players' eyes turned red with envy.

However, joking aside, after complaining, they still honestly surrounded Mushroom in a circle, looking forward to watching him show his new ability.

Mushroom did not disappoint their expectations. First, he took out the candlelight bone whistle, put it to his mouth and blew it gently.

In an instant, a crisp whistle sounded.

The blue candle power spread out from it, turning into candlelight gathering, and in the blink of an eye, it outlined a vigorous spirit horse.

"Whew..."

The candle spirit horse snorted, lightly stepped on the horse's hoof burning the blue candle, its mane flying like fireworks, and flames swaying in its eyes.

Mushroom's eyes lit up, and he reached out and patted the horse's neck a few times, and the spirit horse gradually calmed down.

As soon as the candle spirit horse appeared, the players were in an uproar.

"Damn, so handsome?"

"Ahhhhh, my little pony, wait for me! I'll go to work and buy you right away!"

"Is there a hell horse like the one in Ghost Rider? I want that!"

"... Although this candle spirit horse is indeed very handsome, it should be said that we are not playing on an island map. This horse should not be of much use, right?"

"You know der, who knows if there will be a bigger map in the future?"

"..."

A group of players talked a lot.

Some even couldn't help but flatter the horse.

Bang!

Candlelight Spirit Horse seemed to have a bad temper. Facing this impolite player, it kicked him several meters away with a back kick.

The other players laughed at this.

"Stop touching Mushroom. The horse's neck is almost bald because of you. Ride it for a few laps to show the brothers!" a player urged anxiously.

Mushroom heard this and immediately spread his hands helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to? The game has given a hint that you can't ride a horse on Zhuxin Island."

"Oh, why do you care so much? Isn't this horse right under your nose? Go up and try it, quickly!"

Hearing this, Mushroom could only helplessly prepare to turn over and mount the horse. While purchasing the ability, he also had the ability to ride a horse at the same time. It was very considerate.

However, as soon as he sat on the horse's back, the Candlelight Spirit Horse instantly turned into a little flame and disappeared into the air. Mushroom, who suddenly fell, almost fell.

"Damn, it's boring. I'll show you but won't let you use it."

"Come on, it's good enough that I can show you. If Zhuxin Island could ride horses, it would probably become a racecourse in no time."

Although Zhuxin Island has been expanded several times and its scope has become larger, it is still just a small island after all, and it can't withstand too many players' random creation.

Moreover, many new players have joined recently. If Rogge hadn't chosen some other birth points, I'm afraid Zhuxin Island would have been crowded.

Afterwards, the players naturally turned their attention to the newly added ability [Critical Strike].

[Critical Strike: When the enemy is in a dizzy or unbalanced state, seize the opportunity to launch a critical strike on it, with a high probability of causing double damage of the current attack power, and a very small probability of deducting health according to the percentage of its health value. 】

"Execution? This is the execution strike, right?"

"Execution strike what?"

"Let's just say strike, let's be civilized, thank you."

"Damn, it's another emasculated version. The basic abilities of characters in other games are not only emasculated in Lingzhu, but also need to be purchased. Who can I complain to?"

"Damn, this is not right? Another melee-only ability?"

"Damn it, why don't our wizards have special Zhuling abilities?"

"What special abilities do you want? Avada, what a big deal?"

"Strengthening the low-intelligence knights and low-intelligence warriors again!"

"I really don't know what this planner is thinking, the horse is confiscated! Really..."

Some players complained, while others went directly to the fishman coach to try out new abilities.

The results were somewhat unexpected.

What this refers to is not that there is anything unexpected about the critical strike ability itself. After players activate the ability, they basically trigger the previous multiple damage, and the percentage damage is almost never triggered. Moreover, this ability is matched with the blocking ability. Better results when used.

What's surprising is that the mage can actually do a fatal blow!

Boom——

A dull blocking sound sounded, a huge shock struck, and the fishman suddenly entered a brief state of imbalance.

The player on the opposite side's eyes lit up, and he instinctively took out his staff and pressed it on the fishman's chest. Then, the light suddenly brightened!

With a bang, the fishman was immediately knocked back more than ten meters, leaving a long trace on the beach, and finally turned into a handful of ashes and died completely.

"Holy shit!"

"Our Master actually has his own execution moves! How cool, brothers!"

"This execution action is really exciting, the tension of the action is so perfect!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I wronged you for planning the baby, I will be your mother, okay~"

"Damn it, there's more than one execution method, even remotely!"

"Stabbing the back and stealing the anus counts! Hahahaha! It feels good!"

"Planner dad, you are my dad, I just didn't understand, I will kill you immediately!"

"..."

After realizing this, the Faye players who were trembling with anger just now burst into laughter. They were all dog-faced. They were baring their teeth to bite just now, but now they are wagging their tails again...

…

In addition to the newly added candle spirit abilities, the new spirit candle buildings have naturally attracted much attention.

The Yunmo hut has been upgraded to the second level, and the happiest thing is the mushrooms.

After experiencing the new ability, he immediately came to the second-level Demon Yun hut.

After upgrading, the Yunmo hut seems to have expanded a bit, and has become a bit more refined than before.

After entering the interior, Yunmo's cabin looked a lot more spacious.

After touching the fire, there is the familiar wax oil upgrade, but this is not a problem for mushrooms that have made a lot of wax oil.

After upgrading, Mushroom looked thoughtful after exploring the refining table and planting area.

"The second-level three-category basic magic potion is the previous upgraded version, with an extra step of grinding..."

"The second level of Demonic Seed has appeared, and the cost is higher..."

After reading it, Mushroom scratched his head, slightly disappointed.

He also thought that a brand new formula would appear this time, so that he could conduct related speculative experiments based on the original formula. This would have a much higher probability of success than if he made a blind mix without knowing anything.

No matter what kind of knowledge it is, without the accumulation of ancestors, progress is extremely difficult.

Moreover, there are still too few players who focus on spiritual candle potions, and it is still very difficult to explore mushrooms alone.

"I wonder if there will be any copies of potions in the future..."

Mushroom was looking forward to this.

…

The upgrade in Yunmo Hut seems unremarkable.

The upgrade of the Spirit Fire Port is not as expected by the players, and the Spirit Fire Ship has undergone another reconstruction.

[80 wax oil can be consumed to reconstruct the spirit fire ship into a spirit fire sail]

"Damn, it's getting more and more expensive."

"Ah, I don't have any money in my pocket anymore..."

"Damn it, did the candlekeeper steal our wax? Why am I so poor after killing so many monsters and can't even lift a sailboat?"

"It's...hard to say."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't you know the candle keeper is petty?"

Ling Zhu's behavior of asking for "money" everywhere naturally attracted a lot of curses from the players, and some players even attributed their poverty to the innocent candle keeper.

The world is really going downhill... Sighing, Rogge silently increased the wax fee for these two players...

However, since the "marketization" of Lingzhu, the "first rich" have appeared among the player group, and they have rebuilt their boats directly into Linghuo sails.

Not long after.

Spirit fire sails with white sails that were larger than the original spirit fire ships appeared.

【Spirit Fire Sail】

[Type: Spiritual Candle Creation]

[Effect: It can protect the candle spirit and slowly recover its physical strength within a certain range, and provide the skill "Salvage Net"]

[Salvage net: It consumes physical energy to throw a net and salvage to obtain various items. It takes a long time and the amount of salvage harvest is also larger. 】

[Explanation: The sailing speed is fast and the defense is average. 】

"Huh? Salvage net? What does this mean?"

"There seems to be a fishing net on this boat!"

"Does this mean we will become fishermen?"

"How is this different from fishing?"

"Your brain is crazy. Isn't it written on the information? It will take longer and you will gain more."

"What fishnet stockings? Where are the fishnet stockings?"

"...You are invincible kid."

A group of players chatted and experimented with the new functions of the Spirit Fire Sail.

[Salvaging...]

The salvage speed of the salvage net is indeed very slow. It almost takes at least more than five minutes to do it at a time, and during this period, the Spirit Fire Sail needs to be in sailing condition.

"Close the net, close the net!"

A group of players slowly pulled up the salvage net in anticipation.

Click, click, click!

Before the salvage net was completely pulled up, many of the fish inside began to struggle violently, splashing a lot of water.

"Holy shit, a great harvest!" the player exclaimed.

Perhaps because this was the first salvage in the entire game, the payoff was pretty good.

[Obtained: Large Yellow Croaker×3]

[Obtained: Crab × 2]

[Obtained: Sea Crab × 2]

[Obtained: Cuttlefish × 1]

[Obtained: Kelp × 3]

【……】

After netting this net, let’s not talk about the quality. In terms of quantity, it is definitely more enjoyable and more cost-effective than fishing.

However, this kind of fishing requires physical strength, but fishing does not.

"It's bad, it's still not fun enough. I suggest adding an electric fish function."

"Excuse me, what you think is really punishment..."

…

The tree of candle spirit.

The trunk, which is nearly three meters high, is a pure white wax color, and the leaves are directly replaced with slightly shining flames, which makes the whole tree look very fantastic and gorgeous.

Compared with its function, the appearance of the Candle Spirit Tree seems a bit worth mentioning...

"What the hell? Can you change and upgrade character talents, and strengthen character abilities?!"

"Fuck, if this building doesn't come out, I've almost forgotten my character's abilities."

"No wonder it's called the Candle Spirit Tree! It really has something to do with us!"

"Awesome, I want to upgrade this powerful talent of mine into a super Hercules!"

A group of players exploded one after another, extremely excited.

After playing this game for so long, they even thought that their character's talents were probably fixed in their original form, and even the players didn't pay attention to this.

But what I didn't expect was that Lingzhu didn't forget it, but hid it in the update.

"...Brothers, there is something I don't know whether to say or not..."

"The so-called 'probability' in this description gives me an ominous premonition..."

Some players keenly sensed something was wrong.

After hearing his words, other players also belatedly checked the functions of the Candle Spirit Tree word by word.

【Candle Spirit Tree】

[Possible functions: Gift of re-prayer, gift of promotion, strengthening ability]

[Re-Pray for Gifts: Consume wax oil to erase your original talents, pray to the Candle Spirit Tree for new talents, and have a chance to directly obtain high-level talents. 】

[Promotion Gift: By consuming wax oil and using the power of the Candle Spirit Tree, you have a chance to successfully promote your talent. 】

[Enhancement ability: Choose one of the candle spirit abilities that you already have to strengthen, and there is a probability of improving its effect. 】

"Hahaha, what an ominous premonition, brother, you have played too many penguin games, right? It doesn't matter. If you fail, you will fail. Lingzhu doesn't want our money."

"It's not about money, it's about my liver!"

"Don't say it, don't say it. I always feel like there's a trap here. Why don't other Lingzhu buildings have so much 'probability'?"

"Who said that? Isn't there a furnace of sin?"

"Oh, no matter what, let's try it first and then talk about it, I can't wait!"

I'm a little stuck. Damn, I'm scratching my head and cheeks for a long time. It's really annoying.
