Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 574 Solo
Compared with other types of initial territories, islands have a unique feature, which is resource balance.

The resources of other types of territories are relatively simple. For example, the main resource of mountains is stone, and the main resource of forests is wood. There are few or no other resources.

It’s different on islands. The distribution of resources is very even. There is both wood and stone. You can also fish on the beach. If you’re lucky, you can even discover minerals.

Of course, this balance also has disadvantages, that is, the amount of resources is small, and it is difficult to mine rare resources. Whether it is good or bad depends on how the lord develops.

The initial territory was limited in size, only two or three square kilometers, and Xu Yang quickly figured out the situation.

With the town hall as the center, four types of initial resources and four types of guarding monsters are scattered in the four directions of east, south, west and north.

There is a small forest to the east where you can cut down trees. Inside is a group of half-naked, soul-destroying, demonized savages.

There is a gap on the west side that leads directly to the coastal beach, where one can fish offshore and build the necessary docks and shipyards for the island, but there is a group of demonized fishermen wandering around who are similar to the demonized savages!

There is a hill in the north, where stone can be mined and it is also a natural defense barrier. However, there is a cave in the middle, which should be hiding demonic beasts such as tigers and brown bears.

There is a small valley in the south with a lot of dark red iron ore scattered in the valley. It is actually an open-air iron mine, but there is also a cave in the iron mine, and no one knows what is hidden inside.

Wood, food, stone, iron ore!
Among the four resources, which one should I mine first?
The most valuable iron ore?

Who knows what kind of monsters are hiding in the iron mine cave. Although he is skilled and brave, there is no need to take risks. It is better to proceed step by step and get rid of the weak ones first. The demonized savages in the woods on the east are good choices.

Xu Yang was holding a long sword. He didn't even wear the fur suit with 5 points of protection. He just wore the college uniform with 1 point of protection and came to the woods in the east alone.

As soon as I arrived in the woods, I saw a demonized savage.

As a "wild monster", this demonized savage looked even more dull than the previous farmer. Although he was physically strong, he was soulless and looked like a walking corpse, wandering back and forth in the woods with a wooden stick in his hand.

Xu Yang had done some homework on this aspect. Regardless of whether it was a type of soldier or a wild monster, as long as the level was not high, the intelligence would definitely not be high. This was especially true for these initial wild monsters, which only had the most basic combat instincts. Unlike the basic peasants in the Tower of Babel, they would reply after receiving an order: "Okay, sir!"

Looking at the demonized savages outside the woods, Xu Yang kicked a stone at his feet away.

"Snapped!"

With a slight sound, the stone hit the target. The savage looked back in confusion, then rushed towards Xu Yang in a rage, holding a wooden stick.

Xu Yang did not advance rashly. He waited until he rushed out of the woods before he stepped forward and stabbed him with his sword.

Although the physical attribute is only a pitiful five points, it can be used in different ways. With the combination of body movement, footwork and sword skills, the sword pierces with cold light, not to mention the rain of pear blossoms, but also cold stars, which fall on the body of the savage and cause black blood to float. In a blink of an eye, the sword kills the man and ends the battle with one sword.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the savage fell to the ground.

Xu Yang held up his sword and glanced at the battle record.

"Attack the vital point. You cause 20 points of damage to the demonized savage!"

"Attack the vital point. You cause 30 points of damage to the demonized savage!"

"You killed the demonized savage (common)!"

"You gain 50 experience points!"

Looking at the damage data in the battle record, Xu Yang opened his attribute panel again.

Name: Xu Yang

Race: human
Level: 1 (First-level Lord)
Stamina: 5
Intelligence: 5
Charisma: 5
Reputation: 0
Basic skills: first-level physical fitness LV1, first-level strong attack LV1, first-level strong bow LV1, first-level weapon mastery LV1, first-level riding LV1, first-level logistics LV1, first-level commander LV1.

Weapon Skills: One-handed weapons (proficient), bows and arrows (proficient), polearms (proficient)
……

In the property panel, each property is self-explanatory.

Physical strength refers to physique and power, and is a manifestation of physical strength, which affects physical attack and defense and related effects.

Intelligence is a manifestation of mental strength that affects the effectiveness of mental attack and defense and related skills. It has no direct relationship with IQ, otherwise, for him who has already recovered his memory, he would have at least several thousand or tens of thousands of points.

Charm, appearance, temperament, eloquence, and comprehensive performance in many aspects affect the commander's value and the effects of related skills. They are the most important attributes of the lord.

The remaining basic skills and weapon skills are not difficult to understand. They either increase or decrease damage, or provide auxiliary functions.

Xu Yang's numbers are standard and common, at the level that normal people have, there's nothing much to say.

The key is...

With five points of physical strength, using a long sword with six points of stabbing damage, plus the bonuses of strengthening the body, strong attack, and weapon proficiency, attacking a demonized savage who has no equipment protection, can only cause 20 to 30 points of damage if hitting the vital points.

The level of this demonized savage's "strengthening the body" skill must be quite high, as it reduces the damage he receives.

This is the downside of the “data world”!

If it were in a normal world, Xu Yang could easily kill this savage with one sword.

But in this world where the rules have changed, the effects of skills and the power of data have reduced a lot of damage for him, and he has to make a few more hits to complete the kill.

This is just a low-level monster. If it is a high-level monster, it might not even be able to break through the defense, and it will be useless even if it stands there and lets you chop it.

This cannot be compensated by skills, and can only be improved by increasing one's own attack power.

How to improve?

add a bit!

Attribute points, skill points!

There are also weapons and equipment, which must keep up. Otherwise, even if Xu Yang is a master of swordsmanship, he will be powerless against high-level monsters with overwhelming numbers.

After concentrating his thoughts, Xu Yang looked down and found that the body of the demonized savage had disappeared, leaving only a piece of trophy waiting to be picked up.

wooden stick
Equipment level: Level 1

Equipment attributes: 3 blunt

Equipment Description: Ordinary wooden stick.

Undoubtedly garbage!
Even so, Xu Yang still put it into his backpack.

Even a mosquito leg is meat. Don't aim too high at the beginning.

After collecting the spoils and continuing to look for the target, Xu Yang was ready to clear out all the demonized savages in the woods and complete a spectacular "solo kill!"

In this world where the rules have been completely changed, "killing monsters and leveling up" is the only way to gain power, but monsters have limited experience, and the effect of sharing it between one person and ten people is very different.

Therefore, among the lower-level lords, "solo" is a very popular tactic, which can quickly gain experience, improve skill levels, and greatly improve the quality of spoils. It can be said that there are many benefits.

The only bad thing is that the risk is too high. The faster you level up, the faster you die. Every year, many new lords die while solo.

Even so, many lords still flocked to it. After all, they were at the bottom of society and had little capital. Working hard was their only hope of making a fortune. If they didn't work hard now, they might not be able to work hard in the future. This went on for half a day.

"Roar!!!"

With a mournful roar, the body fell to the ground.

"You killed the demonized savage (elite)"

"You gain 300 experience points!"

"You have annihilated a group of demonized savages and received a special loot reward - the Arrow Tower!"

"You have annihilated a group of demonized savages and received 2000 additional experience points and 10 reputation points as a reward!"

"Your character level has been raised to level 4, gaining 1 attribute point and 1 skill point!"

"..."

A battle record flashed by, and Xu Yang said nothing, silently picking up the spoils dropped by the last savage.

Thorn Club

Equipment level: Level 1 (Excellent)

Equipment attributes: 8 thorns.

Equipment Introduction: A large wooden stick with thorns that requires a certain amount of strength to wield.

"Elite Savage?"

"Excellent weapons?"

"interesting!"

Xu Yang smiled and looked at the package in the space. He saw a card flashing in the bag full of wooden sticks.

箭塔
Building level: Level 1 (normal)
Building civilization: None
Building skills: Shooting (automatically fire arrows to attack the enemy, which requires a certain amount of resources. If the resources are insufficient, Tongtian coins will be directly deducted)
Building Skill: Garrison (Archers can be stationed there, providing some protection and increasing the range and power of the archers)

Building introduction: Ordinary defensive building, can effectively protect your territory.

……

As mentioned before, solo play has huge benefits. Not only can you gain a lot of experience, but you can also get high-quality loot and even special rewards. The Thorn Club and Arrow Tower cards are examples.

Xu Yang accepted the thorn club with satisfaction, and put all the attribute points and skill points gained from the upgrade into "physical strength" and "powerful attack".

There is no need to say much about physical strength. Unless you have special skills and are a noble "mage", physical strength is a necessary attribute for solo play. It can improve attack, endurance and precious survivability.

There is no need to say much about Power Strike. Although the damage reduction effect of "Strengthening the Body" is of great significance, Xu Yang follows the style of "Cloth Sword Master". He even didn't wear the 5-defense fur suit because it was too heavy. Naturally, he would not waste skill points on strengthening the body. "Power Strike" that increases damage is the best way to go.

The physical strength is increased to 8 points, and the strong attack is also increased to level 4. Add in the thorn stick with 8 points of stab damage that I just got, and the combat power increases visibly.

But Xu Yang did not continue killing, but chose to return to the town hall.

Back at the town hall, four farmers were still cutting down the surrounding trees and had cleared out a large space.

According to normal development, at this time we should build houses and barracks, train soldiers and strengthen the defense of the territory.

But Xu Yang did not choose to do so. He only asked the four farmers to build a house each. He did not even look at the barracks. Then he went to the lord's hall and chose to teleport back.

"Enter the Tower of Babel!"

"Please select the area to enter!"

"Thirteen districts, first-level district, ninth campus!"

"Dear Lord Xu Yang, welcome to the Tower of Babel. Please remember the following instructions..."

A white light flashed, and the space changed. Xu Yang, who had just been in the town hall, suddenly came to a magnificent and strange space.

Tower of Babel, the pillar of the world, the holy place of the lords, the core center of everything.

After years of development, the system structure of the Tower of Babel has become quite mature. It is like a super-civilized country, with clear divisions inside the tower and all kinds of infrastructure.

Among them, there are "regions" divided by ethnicity, "layers" divided by class, and "regions" divided by organization.

As a first-level lord of the human race, Xu Yang can currently only move around in the first-level area of ​​the thirteen major districts belonging to the human race. However, because he was born in the Ninth Middle School of Tongtian Academy, he is qualified to enter the "campus" established by the Ninth Middle School in the Tower of Babel.

Of course, if you want to go to other areas, you can do so. As long as they are not the private areas of certain organizations or forces, then as a first-level lord you can freely enter and exit all places in the first-level area.

However, compared with other areas, the Ninth Campus provides some welfare subsidies for its students, so the lords who graduated from the Ninth Middle School generally prefer to stay on campus.

This activity includes but is not limited to resource trading, equipment buying and selling, team building, and territory alliances. In short, if a lord wants to develop, it is not enough to just stay in the territory, but he must communicate with other lords.

In addition, the lord must complete the conscription mission of the Tower of Babel on a regular basis and in a certain quantity. This is an unavoidable responsibility and a sword hanging over the heads of all lords, forcing them to make progress. After all, many weak lords die in every conscription, such as Xu Yang's parents in this life.

"Welcome to the Ninth Campus!"

Xu Yang had just come out of the teleportation array when he saw a young man wearing the uniform of the No. 9 Middle School coming up to him with a smile.

"I am the welcome member of the Ninth Campus Student Union. My classmate, do you need me to introduce you to the facilities and campus benefits of our Ninth Campus?"

"Thank you, senior. I'm already familiar with these in the academy. No need to bother."

Xu Yang didn't want to waste time, so he simply chose to refuse.

"That's it!"

The young man didn't care and smiled as usual: "Then you can explore it by yourself. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. At the same time, you are welcome to join our student union. Our No. 9 Middle School's student union has a long history and has an excellent personnel system and training tradition. For new students with potential..."

After a lot of meaningless nonsense, Xu Yang finally got rid of this enthusiastic student union member.

There are also various power organizations among the lords, ranging from ethnic groups to countries, and even smaller ones have various power organizations. Generally speaking, they still tend to survive in groups. After all, there is strength in numbers, and a lone ranger can never defeat a large organization.

Therefore, it is normal for the Ninth Campus to have something like a Student Union. Apart from the Student Union, there are also various major clubs, as well as the Ninth Campus itself. These are all organizational forces, nested together like nesting dolls, with intricate relationships between them, perfectly presenting the appearance of a society based on human relationships.

But these have nothing to do with Xu Yang. He is a new lord who was born an orphan and has no special talents or adventures. It is impossible for him to join these forces. Even if he joins, he can only be a cannon fodder. He can forget about any resource allocation or community subsidies.

Therefore, Xu Yang didn't waste time arguing with these people and went straight to the trading market of the ninth campus.

The trading market, as the name suggests, is the place where the war lords trade. Here there are large shops opened by the Ninth Campus and various major forces, as well as stalls where individual lords sell their wares.

Be it shops or street stalls, the things sold are varied, ranging from various resources to weapons and equipment, from military buildings to hero contracts, as well as all kinds of strange special items and junk. In short, there is everything, which can meet the development needs of war lords to a great extent.

Xu Yang's purpose of coming here was very simple, which was to empty his backpack, sell the spoils obtained from soloing the savages, and by the way, find a few suitable weapons to improve the efficiency of soloing.
