How Did It Become a River Crab?

The icon of this blue skill is a red peach K poker card with a red letter on a white background, with a grenade drawn in the middle, which is exactly the same as a skill icon of W in the game.

【Heart K】

Type: [Skill]

Quality: [blue]

Effect: Consume 50 energy points and launch a grenade in front of you. The explosion radius and damage of the grenade are linked to your user level. All enemies hit by the grenade will be stunned for 2 seconds. , those with stronger strength may be reduced or exempt from dizziness, and the cooling time is 60 seconds.

Learning conditions: user level ≥ lv.5

Remarks: I kind of understand how she became a blaster...

"What does this note mean?" Mo Lan scratched her little head with the pliers in a daze, not paying much attention, but focused on the skill itself.

The grenade explosion skill once every [-] seconds can only control one special effect. The CD is relatively long, but the advantage is that it only needs to consume energy, and the damage is expected to be quite good. It is the same as W's genuine skill [-], simple and vigorous.

If he learns this skill, then Mo Lan will have his first direct attack skill without self-injury. Without self-explosion, he has completed the leap from 0 to 1 in frontal combat ability.Combined with the title effect of [Deflagration Martyr], the output is very worth looking forward to.

Without any reason to hesitate, Mo Lan immediately learned this skill. Watching him appear in her skill bar, she glanced at the [Black Luxury Car] in her backpack, and also took it out to learn.

In this way, Mo Lan's skill bar has the five skills of [Self-Explosion Button], [Summon Specialization LV. One short, Mo Lan is going to keep it for a rainy day.

I forgot to write (shui) before, and I would like to add here that the player skill column in "Endless Space" has an upper limit.

Players with various mechanisms (such as Mo Lan’s river crab template) have at most six skills before level ten, including passive skills, three more after level ten, three more at level thirty, and finally become into twelve.

Players without a mechanism can use the vacancy in the mechanism column to exchange for six additional skill columns, a total of eighteen, which is equivalent to giving up the system in exchange for independent skills.

It sounds very profitable, but in fact, the price/performance ratio of [Mechanism] is higher than most skills.

The term [Mechanism] can be understood as a complete set of combat systems, such as occupation templates, race templates, character abilities, etc., which itself covers many unique skills of the mechanism, such as Mo Lan's [Crab Dash], [Equipment Store] and so on, definitely not less valuable than the six excellent independent skills.

Not only Mo Lan's own [Race Template: Canyon Swift Crab] has provided Mo Lan with many conveniences and two practical bonuses, he has also read the examples in the newcomer manual, which gave many examples of skill mechanisms.

Such as [Professional Template: Battle Mage], [Professional Template: Sword Emperor], [Substitute Messenger], [Heroic Spirit: Scathach], [Pokémon Template: Pikachu], etc., can provide players with many Unique skills, a huge boost to form a complete and powerful combat system.

Of course, these are quite far from the current Mo Lan. He already has the template of the canyon scuttle crab, and he cannot get another skill mechanism in a short time.

The official has explained that there is a way for players to obtain multiple mechanisms in the later stage, but that is also said to be [late stage]. Now Mo Lan still focuses his attention on how to strengthen the existing combat power.

After the random lottery session ended, Mo Lanji jumped off the gashapon machine and entered the training mode again.

He was going to try out his new ability with the stone beetle, a unit of combat power.

Entering the familiar sky island, Mo Lan directly summoned a stone beetle to the center of the sky island. Looking at the young beetle who had no idea what was about to happen, Mo Lan began to test her first skill.

There are a lot of things to test this time, the first skill Mo Lan chose was [Heart K]...

As Mo Lan thought about the skill name silently, a grenade flew out of nowhere in front of him, drawing a neat and graceful arc in mid-air, and smashed towards the sleeping stone beetle.

The moment the grenade touched the stone beetle, it exploded. Fiery flames swept across the entire body of the stone beetle, and the sound of the explosion resounded through the sky. Even the ground of Sky Island trembled slightly under the impact of the explosion.

Hmm... the radius looks like six or seven meters at present, which is similar to self-explosion.

After calculating the explosion distance, Mo Lan began to observe the damage. This explosion triggered the additional explosion effect of [Deflagration Martyrs], which triggered a second deflagration. In the flames that ignited again, two medium-sized stone beetles ran out. Headed in the direction of Mo Lan.

These two were just split from the mother body, which means that the stone beetle body has been dropped by the second deflagration bomb in seconds.

Mo Lan glanced at the battle records. Under the 20% damage increase of [Deflagration Martyrs], the first explosion of [Heart King] blew up the stone beetle's health to one-fifth, and the second deflagration reduced its life to [-]/[-]. Blow it up thoroughly, causing it to split into medium-sized beetles.

Stone beetles are not considered elites at Mo Lan's current stage. They should be regarded as high-level miscellaneous soldiers with relatively thick blood. It will be a bit difficult for ordinary players to kill one, but it is not very dangerous.

A grenade that consumes 50 energy and can trigger deflagration can kill seven or eight of these stone beetles at once, and the damage level has reached Mo Lan's expectation.

From now on, Mo Lan has another way to fight against the enemy. Every time he wants to blow up something, he doesn't have to use his own people to blow it up, which is gratifying.

After testing [King of Hearts], Mo Lan is going to try a new summoning skill next.

But before that... Mo Lan glanced at the 2650 endless points in her account, and then at her [Summon Specialization LV.12]...

You have to upgrade the passive first.

Chapter 58 Skill Enhancement

After lv12, the upgrade price of Mo Lan's [Summon Specialization] has reached 600. If the average income of normal players is replaced, the endless points earned in the last dungeon are only enough to upgrade [Summon Specialization] to one level.

But Mo Lan... now has 2650 endless points.

"You have consumed 600 endless points, [Summon Specialization] upgraded to LV.13"

"You have consumed 650 endless points, [Summon Specialization] upgraded to LV.14"

"You have consumed 700 endless points, [Summon Specialization] upgraded to LV.15"

Three consecutive reminders came, and Mo Lan's summoning specialization jumped to level 15, and the deposit on hand also dropped from 2650 to 700 in an instant, which was not enough for Mo Lan to advance to the next level.

Looking at the point balance disappearing as quickly as a jumping machine, Mo Lan sighed a little. Endless points are indeed the most versatile main currency in the game. They can be spent anywhere, so they are almost never enough...

The new [Summon Mastery LV.15] is still a green skill, the effect is as follows.

【Summon Specialization LV.15】

Type: [Passive Skill]

Quality: [Green]

Effect: A general-purpose summoning specialization skill that enhances the abilities of all summoned objects of the user.

Current effect: Maximum health +45%, attack power +15%.

Special Effects ①[Corpse Explosion]: Slightly

It can be upgraded by using summoning skills/props and consuming endless points.

Remarks: All Hiki Valley Hachiman, come here!

Compared with before, it has 9% more maximum life value and 5% more attack power bonus, and no new additional special effects have been obtained.

Mo Lan guessed that the next special effect should be obtained at LV.20, at that time, this specialization skill of his will also be upgraded to the blue quality, completing the second wave of leap.

If things go on like this, Mo Lan feels that if he plays for long enough, he might even strengthen this skill from whiteboard to orange...

By that time, the bonuses brought by skills will probably be exaggerated to the point of unbelievable...

After finishing this, Mo Lan took out the [Special Enhancement Coupon], and this was the first time he carefully observed this item, which is said to be extremely versatile and extremely versatile.

It is said to be [coupon], in fact, the length of this enhanced coupon is more like a golden card with continuously flowing flashing strings. It looks a bit like the data waterfall in The Matrix. The LOGO of "Endless Space" is engraved In the center of the card is a golden spear piercing the stars.

【Special Enhancement Coupon】

Type: [props]

Quality: [blue]

Effect: It is a very versatile enhancement item, which can directly strengthen the user's [Bonus], [Skill], [Equipment], [Prop] and other items, improve their effects, and have a chance to grant additional abilities, but cannot directly affect 【Mechanism】Reinforcement (it is feasible to strengthen the bonus derived from the mechanism)

Remarks: In the sixth war zone, the universal strengthening coupon produced by Star City contains an intelligent system, which can strengthen almost anything, but the effect and stability cannot be guaranteed.

Mo Lan held this enhancement coupon, and hesitated for a long time between the two skills [Summon Specialization] and [Zzlot Portal], and finally used this enhancement coupon on the latter.

The reason is simple. [Summon Specialization] can be strengthened stably with endless points, but Mo Lan's current main combat ability, the portal, has no known way to strengthen it. Now that there is a chance to improve it, it is natural to give it a try. .

With a thought in Mo Lan's mind (it's just a matter of meditating and using it in his mind), the golden card in his pliers turned into a stream of light and flew into his body, and the sound of the string hitting echoed in his mind. The system prompt came over.

"You used [Special Enhancement Coupon] for your bonus [Zzlot Portal]. After calculation, you can choose two of the following three enhancements."

"①: The number of portals you can release at one time is increased to two, and the two portals must be released at the same time, sharing a CD."

"②: Your Void Beast has a 10% dodge chance. If it fails to trigger, it will be stacked layer by layer. After triggering, the chance will reset back to 10%."

"③: Every time your [Zzlot Portal] produces a void beast, there is a 2% chance to summon a super void beast, and the comprehensive attribute is 250% of the strengthened void beast."

"Fuck, it's fierce..." Mo Lan stared blankly at the enhancement options provided by the special enhancement coupon, and was surprised by this series of extremely kind enhancements.

He thought that this special enhancement coupon would at most strengthen the Void Beast attribute and increase the summoning speed, but he didn't expect it to be the same multiple-choice question as the special effect of the specialization skill, and it was a generous choice of two out of three.

The three options in front of him, no matter which one they are, have a huge bonus to Mo Lan's portal, which also makes Mo Lan fall into a choice phobia.

The first pair of gates is mandatory. There is an essential difference in combat power between 30 Void Beasts and 60 Void Beasts. The real difficulty for Mo Lan is to choose one of ② and ③.

The 10% dodge rate of ② does not sound high, but it is stable. Once triggered, ③ can create a monster comparable to an elite. Which one to choose has its own reason.

After struggling for a while, Mo Lan thought about her gashapon experience so far, gave up believing in her own luck, and chose ① and ②.

Thus, the description of the Zz'Rot portal becomes:

[Zzlot Portal +2]

Type: Bonus

Quality: None (special mechanism bonus, no quality)

Effect: slightly

The user can open two void doors that last for 120 seconds at any position within ten meters, and the rest will be omitted.

Void beasts have lower HP and faster movement speed, as well as a 10% dodge chance, which will be omitted later.

The cooling time of [Zz'Rot Portal] is 120 seconds.

Shotguns for cannons.

Minute Maid put down the two portals. Looking at the suddenly doubled number of Void Beasts, Mo Lan pulled a new stone beetle by the way, and tested the current combat power of the Void Beasts.

I won’t go into details about the test process. The result is that compared to before, the single-body combat power of the small Void Beast has increased to 0.6 the power of a stone beetle, and the strengthened Void Beast can just exchange one stone beetle, which is equivalent to 1 stone beetle. With 10% dodge and doubling the number, the power of [Zz'Rot Portal] is already incomparable.

After the test, Mo Lan took a deep breath, checked her various abilities, and decided to do a less boring and somewhat challenging experiment.

In the training mode, he wanted to challenge the leader of the iron-devouring mercenary group [Iron-devouring] head-on, to see if his current strength was enough to crush this giant humanoid beast.

Chapter 59 Regiment - Chief

In order to complete this experiment, Mo Lan still has two things to prepare.

The first thing he did was to remove the [Barron Shield] from his back, and with the help of the system, he handed over 400 endless points and upgraded it to [Poor Ghost Shield]...

This is what Mo Lan decided to do very early on. In the last world, without the help of the round shield, he would have been slapped by the iron-biting knife. Naturally, the stronger this life-saving thing is the better.

A glaring light flashed. The original dilapidated round shield, which looked like the bottom cover of a wine barrel, was completely refurbished. The surrounding edges were covered with iron, and the middle was reinforced with iron plates. There was also a crescent crescent engraved on it. It was considered a shield. The way it should be.
