In order to advance the main profession, the three associated characteristics must be upgraded to the maximum level, and only then can the main profession read more advanced profession books.

As for the condition that the skill tree still cannot be selected, it is because most professions can only learn the first skill after reaching level five. Similarly, learning skills requires finding a skill book... This is also the reason why newbies feel painful in the early stages. They are unfamiliar with the place, so where can they find the book?

If players want to get the skill tree, they can only buy it by completing faction tasks to gain loyalty points.

There are more ways to level up than just killing monsters. You can also study and read books. So in the previous life 1.0, a group of players who were stuck in a certain level would either form a team to fight against Originium bugs, or find the nearest village to their spawn point, read books on farming and raising pigs, and obtain a farmer's secondary profession to level up.

In the data of "Ark", strength affects the player's physical attack power and the upper limit of the weight of the checked backpack. Players with high strength can equip weapons and equipment with high strength requirements. For example, in Sword Art Online, Shino has to increase her strength if she wants to equip Hecate. Dexterity affects the player's movement speed and positioning, and also affects the efficiency of some logistics production players in making items and props. Endurance is the maximum physical strength. People with low endurance, such as Xia Yuan, will die if they run a thousand meters. The higher the endurance, the more attacks they can withstand. In other words, endurance also represents the defense of the body.

Intelligence affects the player's magical attack power and is loved by mages. Players with high intelligence are always more efficient than other players when learning skills and reading books. The success rate of getting intelligence bonus when exploring blueprints or drawings is also higher.

Spirit and endurance are opposites, one is physical defense, the other is mental defense. Most heavy armors also need some spirit, because the warlock's spells sometimes affect the spirit. When being attacked, there is a spirit judgment. If it is too low, the whole person will appear to be drunk and dizzy, and thus lose combat ability.

Charm is used to communicate with NPCs. Charm is usually judged during conversations. If the charm is high, the NPC may tell the player the task truthfully. If the charm is too low, the NPC will ignore the player. Players with high charm can also get a discount when purchasing items. Of course... In the game "Ark", there is also a marriage system. Players with high charm are naturally popular and there are countless cases of online love.

Luck is the drop rate of equipment from monsters. Players with high luck are likely to win a lot of money in the casino. The NPC will also be very humane and completely ban this person, prohibiting him from entering the casino again in the future.

Xia Yuan is really lucky now.

As for the class, which is divided into zero to six stars, this is not something that can be completed by just completing a task. The upgrade of class is closely related to the attributes and characteristics mastered by the player. For example, Xia Yuan's current progress bar has barely moved.

0.03 stars.

Oh cowhide.

The player had played for five years in his previous life, and the strongest players on the leaderboard had only reached the five-star level. Facing six-star powerhouses, they could only rely on numbers... and give away their heads.

Xia Yuan shuddered as he recalled how a certain Sai's iron fist had beaten so many players on the forum that they cried and called him "Daddy".

As a player who loves to seek death, he has challenged Saria before, but the result was that the countless machines he summoned were blown up in ten seconds, the top-grade armor he was wearing was penetrated in one second, and he was pulled out of the armor by the opponent, pinned to the ground and beaten with fists.

Of course, as a support player with low health, Saria started counting down before she finished attacking Xia Yuan.

As a live streamer he certainly became a clown, but he received a lot of rewards and said a respectful farewell to his mechanical helper that cost him several hundred million Longmen coins.

He will return to the Holy City of Lateran with the main group tomorrow, which also means that he will return to campus life.

Xia Yuan planned to spend all his time in the school library, maybe he would find some useful books.

He has made all preparations to greet tomorrow's sun.

In this world, it is easy to live, but few can live a wonderful life.

When he woke up the next day, Andon might have left the night before. On the way to see him off, Xia Yuan did not see his guide.

This time, dozens of people entered the city on a bus. Xia Yuan looked at the Holy City of Lateran getting closer and closer in the distance, with an indelible yearning in his eyes.

This is a paradise for the Sakotas.

It is also the place where players drive up housing prices the most.

If you want to live in Lateran, first of all, you cannot be an infected person. Secondly, you must have enough loyalty points in the Lateran camp. Finally, you must be able to afford a house.

As a mobile city, Lateran has a vast inland sea, white walls and high towers. Any player with a little money wants to buy a house here. If you can't afford a sea view house in real life, at least you can enjoy it in the game, right?

Oh, sorry, there is no shortage of losers in "Ark". The price of Sea View Room has gradually increased from the initial several million Longmen Coins with the update of versions. When Xia Yuan was still playing for him, the price had already reached billions of Longmen Coins.

This is a theocratic state located in the center of Terra. It borders Syracuse, Victoria and Leitania to the north, Iberia to the south and Rembil to the east. It has stood out from the thousands of years of war and chaos on Terra.

Lateran is not simply a mobile city, but a mobile country.

Terra is thirty times larger than the Earth. The huge city of Lateran naturally occupies an area that is thirty times the original size of the Earth in the set. Xia Yuan sometimes feels curious about how such a huge monster moves.

Indecision, quantum mechanics.

After entering the city, several people were taken for a physical examination. After it was found that they were not infected with oripathy and were in good health, the Papal Knights let them go. However, one of the Papal Knights suggested that Xia Yuan go to the hospital to lie down for a few days, eat some sweets, and see a psychologist. It would be best not to have any sequelae of the battlefield.

Xia Yuan nodded to express his gratitude.

According to the location he remembered, he found his home.

It was a very simple single apartment. On the table lay a half-finished gun blueprint, and on the side there were shelves filled with all kinds of spare parts.

In addition to gold coins, Lateran also uses Longmen coins. When the economic crisis occurred in the past, the Longmen city of Yan State vigorously developed commerce. The emergence of a new currency was inseparable from the strong support of Yan State and the promotion of traders.

As commerce spread across the entire Terra continent, Lungmen coins became the most commonly used currency.

He recalled what happened in Lateran in 1086, which was related to Xia Yuan's next actions. He recalled it in the game archives and the documents found by players. His face changed slightly, and he actually remembered something.

He had to stay away from the Michaelaion area.

With his current small body, he would be a dead giveaway if he met Sister Tutu. Moreover, the other party was best at spiritual Originium skills, and his spirit was only 2 points, which was probably not as high as the spirit of the Originium worm.

There are many wanted criminals in the land of Terra. Players can arrest and kill wanted criminals to get rewards, but Arturo, like Andorn, cannot win even by relying on numbers. A well-known domestic professional guild once launched a raid on Arturo, but the result was that all the guild members were wiped out.

Players will lose experience points when they die, and the higher the level, the more experience points they lose. So since that incident, there have been players who provided information to Arturo, but not many of them actually took action.

Xia Yuan lives in the St. Petersburg area, which is very close to the artificial sea. When she opens the window, she can see the blue sky in the distance.

As for the parts on the table, he touched them tentatively but gained nothing, and no pop-up window indicating that he was learning did not pop up.

Obviously, he needs to acquire the secondary profession of gunsmith first before he can gain experience by assembling firearms.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Xia Yuan came to the campus after breakfast. He was greeted by his serious-looking head teacher.

Xia Yuan had no choice. It was the original owner who ran away, so he could only nod and admit his mistake, saying that he would not do it again next time.

However, Xia Yuan's behavior seemed insignificant to the naive and adventurous Laterans. The head teacher just said a few words and let Xia Yuan leave.

The morning classes were digital calculation and gun training. Every Lateran had an innate familiarity with guns, as if guns were weapons they were born with. Gun training was also included in the school's compulsory courses. In this class, students would master the principles of guns and how to shoot.

Xia Yuan examined the guns provided to them by the school.

[Black Hawk Pistol·Modified: Quality: Gray, small caliber, attack power 20~25, firing rate 1.3 rounds/s]

This was the limit of the information he could see about the pistol. If he had the secondary profession of gunsmith, he could see more information about the gun.

Xia Yuan held the pistol as if he was holding a body with flesh and blood. Only then did he completely understand why the Sakota race had such a deep mastery of the gun. When he was a player, he only felt the improvement of his proficiency, but as a real NPC, he felt that the gun was like a part of his body.

It's a mysterious experience.

The professor of this class held a hand gun and said to the more than 30 students present: "Remember, when holding a hand gun, the way you hold the gun is very important. Some guns have very strong recoil, and it may hurt yourself for a Sakota who is not proficient in mastering it."

[Falma Lv20 is teaching you the skill [Basic Shooting], the current progress is 1%, and the progress of unlocking the technician sub-profession is 0.02%]

The mechanic, also known as the pistol man by the players, is a popular secondary profession among players. It is very easy to obtain this secondary profession. You only need to participate in the NPC's pistol training course to obtain it. When large firearms are unavailable, using pistols to fight has become the mainstream for some main profession sniper players.

Xia Yuan aimed the gun according to Teacher Farma's posture and looked at the figure in front of him.

He adopted the Mozambique shooting method that was gradually developed by sniper players in the previous life, which is to shoot the target twice in the chest and then shoot in the head. This shooting method is very lethal in reality, and through numerical calculations in "Ark", it can also inflict maximum damage.

Of course, this method is only limited to humanoid hostile creatures. The soft and fragrant Originium worms cannot be shot by players in this way.

"boom!"

The loud explosion startled Xia Yuan. He put down the Black Hawk in his hand and looked in the direction where the explosion came from.

The teaching building, which was originally made of complete marble... suddenly collapsed at one corner, with thick smoke billowing. Behind the blown-up wall were students from other classes who were in class and were staring in amazement.

Enemy attack? Is Kazdel so brave?

Farma came to a student with a red face and said repeatedly: "Remule! How many times have I told you not to play with your explosives in such a dangerous course as firearms teaching! How many times has this been? Fifteen times!"

"Ahahaha, sorry, I missed it. I wanted to blow up the stake."

The angel with red shawl hair scratched her head and smiled. Only happiness could be seen in her smile. There didn't seem to be much apology.

She saw veins popping out on Teacher Farma's forehead, and he let out a strange cry and ran away.

"I want to have a good talk with your sister! And I want to have a good talk with Mostima too! Stop right there and write a self-criticism!" Farma was so angry that she chased Remule into the teaching building, and it seemed that she would not give up until she caught her.

Xia Yuan kept repeating these familiar names in his mind and continued shooting at the target.

Chapter 4: Mastema

Remule, players like to call her Angel.

Most players who did not choose the Sakota race can really come into contact with her during the main storyline of 3.0. At this time, players have already explored the mobile city of Longmen. Players strolling around at night can naturally see a transport truck with a penguin logo being chased and blocked by a dozen police cars.

This angel lady has won the love of both male and female players. Every player is a loyal fan of looks. Even Xia Yuan, who does not fall in love online in the game, admits that this little angel Remule does have her unique charm.

Some players also drew her own version... Well, Xia Yuan has seen it.

Let’s not talk about these things for now. There was one thing that made Xia Yuan hesitate. He recalled the documents he had read in his memory.

In 1091, Andorn rebelled and Mastema fell from heaven. In 1093, Mastema left Lateran. Mastema was one to two academic years older than Archangel Exia. It was one year after Mastema left school that Remuel graduated and ran to Longmen to chase her.

This timeline is a bit confusing, that is, Mostima participated in the team mission when she was in school, and fell before graduation. She stayed in school for another year and then left. Remuel set off for Lungmen a year after she left.

He summarized that in 1091 Mostima fell from heaven, in 1092 she still stayed in the school in Lateran, in 1093 Mostima graduated and left Lateran, and in 1094 Remuel graduated and went to Lungmen.

The age of this body is 16, and the school in Lateran graduates at the age of 23 - of course, he can apply for graduation early. So it seems that Mostima is the same age as him, and Remuel, the Archangel, is one grade younger than him.

Age is not a limitation for the Sakota race like it is for other races. The longest life span of the Sakota race can reach 300 years, and their appearance will not change much with age. As they age, some people will deliberately exacerbate the aging of their appearance. When they have fulfilled their wishes, they will choose to return to the stars.

Xia Yuan put down the Black Hawk in his hand. He now finally understood why his head teacher turned a blind eye to what he did. After all, with the explosive lady Lei Mule in front of him, what he did was nothing.

As for the fact that the graduation age at Rutland Academy is 23...Xia Yuan naturally couldn't stay that long. If he stayed until he was 23, the plot would have already begun and it would be too late.

He was planning to go to Syracuse once, as he wanted to obtain a valuable secondary professional notebook.

But before that, he needs to gain experience.

The library shelves are full of books, but only a few Sakotas are willing to sit down and read. They would rather jump, play and shoot in the sun.

Xia Yuan found several auxiliary books, he memorized their locations, and then continued to walk inside.

The fact that the original owner is a member of the school is a huge advantage, because if the player wants to enter the library, he needs to join the academy and have a large number of loyalty points, which is very complicated for the player.

“——Found it.”

He looked at a book called "Basic Analysis of Guns" on the bookshelf and stretched out his hand.

[You are currently learning. Your intelligence has been successfully determined. Your expertise has been successfully determined. Your current progress is 1.14%. Your Gunsmith secondary occupation unlocking progress is 2%]

Xia Yuan had no classes in the afternoon, so he stood in front of the bookshelf and read. After finishing one book, he started another, and his progress increased rapidly.

finally--

[You obtain a new secondary occupation [Novice Gunsmith], Dexterity +2, and gain 1 free attribute point]

[You have obtained a new feature, [Basic gun weapon understanding]]

[You have finished reading five books on the Gunsmith sub-profession and gained experience——]

Basic gunsmith understanding means that he can understand gun blueprints that only gunsmith players can understand.

As for free attribute points, upgrading the main profession provides two points, and upgrading the secondary profession provides one point.

Xia Yuan smiled, and he applied all this experience to his secondary profession of gunsmith.

[Skill tree is enabled, you get three skill points]

Each main profession and sub-profession has several skills. There are no forks in the road. There is only one way to go to the end. When the main profession is maxed out, points can be added to the sub-profession - because theoretically players can have countless sub-professions.

He ignored the auxiliary main profession and added all three skill points to the gunsmith. Three skill points were only enough for one skill.

[You have mastered the skill [Basic Gun Manufacturing]]

Phew, with this skill, he can finally make a gun.

He glanced at his panel.
