Chapter 4: Explosion Stats

Looking at the information on the Bloodthirsty Berserking Hound King Sword and the Holy Protection Skill Book, Liu Ming couldn’t help but look elated since he was in high spirits.

The stats of the Bloodthirsty Berserking Hound King Sword were undoubtedly wonderful. It had an Attacking Power that was as high as 133 points, making it 30 points higher than that of the Level 10 White equipment.

The additional Critical Hit and Leech special effects increased the value of this equipment. For normal players, the additional Skill—Continuous Berserking—was only considered a bonus that would occasionally appear as a surprise. However, to Liu Ming, it was a Skill that could greatly increase his DPS.

On the other hand, Holy Protection was an impressive Skill that all Guardian Knights would possess in the later stages of their profession. In fact, Guardian Knights would also have a Skill called Guardian Shield after they officially transferred at Level 10.

Guardian Shield (Green): Consumes 25 Magic Points to condense a Shield that contains Energy Points equivalent to 1x Health Points. Before the Energy Points are depleted, the adventurer will be protected from damage done by external attacks.

First of all, Guardian Shield was a Skill that could block direct damage that came from the front of the user. Besides that, Guardian Shield could also form a defense around the user. Secondly, Guardian Shield only consumed 25 Magic Points, which was half of that of Holy Protection.

Coupled with Guardian Knights’ unique effect of doubled HP restoration rate when in the presence of an Energy Shield, Liu Ming could completely yell in the later stage, “I’m just going to stand here and let you guys attack me! If you can kill me in one day, I’ll give each of you 10,000 Gold Coins.”

Of course, Holy Protection was not invincible. If tens of thousands of people came forth to battle him in the future, Liu Ming might be defeated if his Defense did not reach a certain level.

After equipping himself with the Berserking Hound King equipment and the Bloodthirsty Berserking Hound King Sword, Liu Ming’s stats immediately soared.

Player Username: Floating Cloud

Level: 5

Health Points: 1,430

Magic Points: 650

Attack: 184

Defense: 75

…

Liu Ming’s current stats were far superior to that of other players. In fact, the top echelon players might not have such stats even if they advanced to level 10, let alone have any special stats like Critical Hit.

At this moment, Liu Ming finally focused his attention on the Purple Eroded Berserking Hound King’s Heart.

Eroded Berserking Hound King’s Heart (Purple): A heart that has been eroded by an unknown Berserking aura. Hand it to the village chief, Carlos, and you might get a surprise.

“Isn’t this a quest item? Forget it. I need to learn a new novice Skill in the novice village anyway. I’d better go back and take a look after cleaning up the garbage in my backpack.”

…

Twenty minutes later, Liu Ming used the system map to locate the Profession Mentor for trainees in the novice village.

The trainee mentor—who was a Knight by profession—was a tall and buff middle-aged man clad in silvery-gray armor.

Liu Ming looked over, only to see that all the information bars above the trainee mentor’s head indicated ‘???’, apart from the green bar that indicated friendliness.

The trainee mentor—who was a Knight—clearly had a much higher level than Liu Ming, which was why Liu Ming couldn’t see any of his information. However, Liu Ming wasn’t a silly player who often thought about backstabbing NPCs. Hence, he wasn’t too bothered by it.

Liu Ming simply muttered, “They actually use such a high-level NPC as a mentor for trainees.” Afterward, Liu Ming said, “Mentor, I’m here to learn some trainee skills.”

After hearing Liu Ming’s words, the Knight Mentor first looked at Liu Ming. He smiled and said, “You are the first adventurer to rise to the Trainee-level. You can learn an Excellent Skill.”

In God Domain, Trainee-level was the term used by NPCS for existences that ranged from Level 5-10. Apart from that, there were also divisions like Official-level, Elite-level, and Leader-level, which corresponded to the first, second, and third promotions.

As for the divisions further up? Within God Domain, one could currently only advance to Level 60 and undergo three promotions. The subsequent information had yet to be publicized.

Excellent-grade and the rest were used to divide items and Skills. Excellent corresponded to Green, Superior corresponded to Blue, while Brilliant corresponded to Purple.

According to God Domain’s official introduction, players would be able to learn two White Skills from the Skills Mentor once they reached Level 5, yet Liu Ming could learn a Green Skill now. It was clearly a hidden benefit for the first player to reach Level 5.

After thanking the Knight Mentor for the free benefit, Liu Ming began to select the skills that he wanted to learn.

There were more than 20 icons neatly arranged on the translucent screen in front of Liu Ming. However, the twenty-odd icons were mostly White Skills that were mostly similar. Only four Green Skills looked rather good.

After Liu Ming casually picked two White Skills—Heavy Slash and Chain Slash—he finally picked a Green Skill named Retaliation.

There was nothing much to say about the two White Skills. They were like Fireballs and Magic Bombs for Mages, Cleave and Jump Slash for Warriors, and so on. The Skills announced on the official God Domain forum were all extremely ordinary with no special effects.

Even the skill multiplier was fixed at 130%. However, due to the fact that Chain Slash was split into two, the damage done by the attacks were also divided into 65% each.

To put it bluntly, those Skills merely solved the problem of the majority of normal players only getting to launch normal attacks.

If one really wanted to learn Skills that were powerful and had special features, they would have to wait until the official change in profession. However, the Retaliation Skill was only a small Skill of the highest grade.

Retaliation (Green): Adventurers can use any weapon to block the enemy’s attack. The success rate depends on the quality of the adventurer’s weapon and the adventurer’s strength.

After a successful block, the adventurer is immune to 90% of the damage and has a certain chance of retaliating.

Note: Blocking a Magical Attack with a weapon below Blue has a high chance of failure. Blocking a wide range of attacks will also be prohibited. Use with caution.

This Skill’s main feature was that the player could now block without a shield and reflect some single-target Magical Attacks.

Of course, Liu Ming would only find out the exact probability of reflecting Magical Attacks after trying it himself.

After seeing Liu Ming selecting Retaliate, the Knight Mentor revealed an ambiguous smile on his face. “Young man, work hard. If you can be the first player to acquire the qualifications to become an official Knight, I will give you a handsome reward.”
