Ita Era

Chapter 65 Ita Weekly
Ding Shi asked, "How do you cultivate and use Pure Force?" Pure Force is a class without dungeons.

Little Sugar said, "Your panel has four main stats: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Luck. Pure Force can directly increase the values ​​of Strength and Agility. For example, if you put all your Force into Strength, your original Strength will be 7, and it will become 14. With long-term use of Force, 14 will become 15."

Following Xiaotangtang's instructions, Ding Shi infused his Force into his Agility Nerves. As his Agility stat increased, the Force within his body became increasingly diluted until it was entirely channeled into his Agility. This process took 10 seconds, and the time required decreased with increasing proficiency.

After agility is enhanced, running speed increases, the accuracy of throwing knives is greatly improved, and going uphill and downhill is as easy as walking on flat ground.

However, Ding Shi soon encountered a problem.

Ding Shi said, "My stamina hasn't increased. Although I can run faster than the wind, my stamina depletes just as quickly." He only needs 5 seconds to sprint 100 meters, and after 5 seconds, he's exhausted like a dead dog.

Little Sugar replied, "Not only agility, but also strength. Through training and real combat, your stamina will naturally increase gradually. Of course, no matter how much it increases, your stamina can never break through the limits of human strength. Unless..."

Ding Shi: "Unless?"

Little Sugar held out her hand: "Seven of Spades".

Ding Shi: "No."

"Humph!"

Ding Shi's eyes lit up, and he ran back to his house, taking out the 7 of Spades from his storage box. This time, it wasn't a question mark.

Seven of Spades, Skill: Water Substitution Technique. Five-second cooldown. Creates a water clone that stands motionless, invisible, and immobile on the water's edge using the Force. If the original body is severely injured, the water clone will absorb the damage. The water clone will dissipate if it is more than 200 meters away from the original body.

The Water Clone ability blocks damage, with a 12-hour cooldown. The Water Clone ability does not block damage and has no cooldown.

How should we evaluate this thing? We'll leave that for now. Ding Shi took out the wordless book.

Sure enough, words appeared on the blank book: "Insufficient wisdom, unable to read. Insufficient wisdom, unable to read. Insufficient wisdom, unable to read."

Damn, is it really necessary to write it three times? I could understand it even if I only wrote it once.

Why? I have 8 points of wisdom, but the world of Ithaca doesn't have a point system, and the Force can't increase wisdom. So how should I read this book?

One of a kind? Ding Shi threw the blank book into the storage box, dejectedly left, and went out to train his Force.

Ding Shi asked Xiao Tangtang, "Is everyone's total amount of Force the same?"

Little Sugar replied, "No, I can only say that the total amount of Force varies little from person to person. Height, weight, and physical condition have a slight impact on the total amount of Force. If you are willing to hand over the Book of No Words to me, I can tell you some tips on Force."

Ding Shi looked at Xiao Tangtang: "Don't you want playing cards anymore?"

Little Sugar: "Playing cards are fine too."

Ding Shi: "Go play by yourself."

"Hmph." He turned and flew away with his hands behind his back.

Ding entered training mode, inflating and deflating his agility and strength training. With continuous training, after two hours, the time to fully inflate decreased from 10 seconds to 9.90 seconds. The time to fully deflate decreased from 5 seconds to 4.95 seconds.

Four hours later, nothing changed. Eight hours later, still nothing changed. Ding Shi understood; this training was pointless. Instead of wasting time, he'd be better off playing with throwing knives and drawing talismans. Why didn't Ding Shi choose one of the five major professions? Because pure Force doesn't have profession-specific dungeons. It's like buying lottery tickets: five tickets are blue, one is red—doesn't the red one seem special?
For example, if you're drinking with 10 beautiful women and there's only one short-haired beauty, how can you not take a second look?
It's possible it's a trap, but where isn't there a trap?

……

Twenty-four hours later, the class dungeon ended, and the Ita Weekly began publication, costing $1 per month. Ding Shi immediately ordered the newspaper. A pigeon, newspaper in its beak, fluttered out of the teleportation array and dropped it at its front door.

The first part of the newspaper is job postings, which take up 80% of the page.

Ninjutsu chakra is divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Fun fact: Some players, in a moment of folly, attempted to walk on the lake in a special dungeon, resulting in multiple deaths.

There are also basic descriptions of the sword qi, internal force, true qi, and magic power professions.

The second part is a general news section explaining the arrangements for the elderly, infirm, and disabled. These individuals are directly assigned to the southwest community of Sixiang City, where they are provided with rent-free housing and receive a monthly living allowance. If they acquire income, the allowance will be suspended.

The system allows for 5 hours of direct family communication, enabling video calls between immediate family members such as spouses, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, and mothers and sons.

Assuming Ding Shi has both parents alive, a wife, and children, he can invite them to live on the island. If they agree, they can live there. However, they will not receive living expenses, and they will be unable to enter the instance again. If Ding Shi dies, his immediate family will be transferred to the North Community.

Part Three briefly explains why humans entered the world of Ita.

Humans are the most intelligent beings in the solar system, but the Interstellar Alliance is pessimistic about the future of humanity and Earth, and has decided to restart the solar system. However, the Shrimp Star System, one of the five major star systems, disagrees and argues its case. After discussions, both sides decide to bring humanity into the Ita World. As for what the Alliance wants, and how humanity will prove its worth, the newspaper did not specify.

The last two sentences are chilling to think about: time flows very slowly in the Ita world, making it impossible for humans to reproduce there.

If humanity fails to break through the world of Ita, or fails to achieve a certain goal set by the alliance, humanity will perish in the world of Ita.

Part Four explains the origin of the name Ita World.

There is a nebula in the Milky Way called the constellation Carina, and within Carina lies a very dangerous star called Eta. As for Eta, and what connection Carina has to humanity, the newspaper did not elaborate further.

There are many questions, such as why the solar system could restart and what its relationship is with Eta. However, it also seems to explain why there is a planet like Earth in the universe that is infinitely close to perfection.

Part Five: Introduction to the Instance.

The dungeon will remove the Casual difficulty, leaving four difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell. Dying on Normal difficulty will result in becoming a resident of the North Community of Four Symbols City; completing Normal difficulty will allow the world of Ita to heal physical injuries and ailments.

Those who die on Hard difficulty are eligible to participate in a challenge. If successful, they can become residents of the Southwest Community of Four Symbols City. Completing Hard difficulty will heal physical injuries and ailments in Ita World, but will weaken the base attributes of the next dungeon based on the extent of the injuries and ailments.

Those who die on Nightmare difficulty become residents of the Southwest Community. Completing Nightmare difficulty allows the world of Ita to utilize Earth's medical standards for healing. For example, severed limbs cannot regenerate, but infections caused by severed limbs can be treated with medication.

Suppose A completes the game on Nightmare difficulty and loses an arm. The next time A completes the game on Normal difficulty, the arm will not regenerate.

You must clear the Nightmare difficulty dungeon to unlock the Hell difficulty dungeon. The rewards and penalties for Hell difficulty are the same as for Nightmare difficulty: severed limbs cannot regenerate, and you become a resident of the Southwest Community.

However, only dungeons of Hell difficulty can yield valuable items and skills such as Golden Teleport Tickets.

Part Six is ​​the Ita Rules: Indecent assault, rape, and other acts against the other party's will are prohibited.
