Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

[Exquisiteness coefficient × 1.5 (slightly ingenious)]

【Health status coefficient × 1.4 (Excellent)】

[Inspiration proficiency +0.5 (I am walking on a brand new path)]

Final calculation result: [Mantra Control - Style] proficiency +2.6

"Practicing to complete exhaustion only gave me a proficiency of 2.6." Lin Bo frowned.

Unlike the Black Snake Meditation Technique which only requires 50 proficiency points to upgrade, the Mantra Control Technique, probably because of its higher status, requires as much as 1 experience points for a level 1000 upgrade.

To recover naturally from mental exhaustion, one needed a good night's sleep. Even using the Black Snake Meditation Technique took three hours, meaning even if one did nothing else, they could only practice eight times a day, taking over a month to reach level two.

In fact, it will probably take about half a year to accumulate 1000 proficiency points.

"We have to use technology." Lin Bo pondered what methods could speed up mental recovery. "The cheapest tranquilizing potion costs 10 disaster coins, and the awakening potion with immediate effects costs over disaster coins.

"This money can't be made by others. It's better to buy some magical herbs and grow them yourself, and make your own potions. It's best to make potions that are harmless to the body, otherwise if you drink too much, you might end up with a pointy head."

He originally planned to try the two player development paths of planting and medicine.

The medical level of this era was very average. Although they had moved away from the two-piece set of bloodletting and enema, many diseases that seemed common in later generations were still untreatable.

What’s even more terrifying is that in this era, there is no awareness of disinfection and sterilization in surgical operations, and the operating table is no different from a slaughterhouse.

Becoming a doctor would undoubtedly give this black person a very high reputation. The lighthouse keeper was of no importance to Stone Tower Town. Not many people attended the funeral when old Tim died, but if he became a doctor, he would definitely be sought after.

In addition to configuring mental potions and increasing the number of practice sessions, you can also look for ways to increase your proficiency, such as the special effects of equipment and the current version's limited item [Knowledge Fragments].

Knowledge Fragments are not only a key item for improving skill levels, but can also significantly increase basic proficiency.

The types of fragments dropped by different copies are also different. The fragments dropped by the [Mechanical Factory] are basically technology fragments.

There were no fragments of True Name Mage's knowledge in the merchant's inventory, and Lin Bo did not take the initiative to inquire about it.

He didn't think it was sensible to brag about his gamer profession everywhere, and he hadn't established a real trusting relationship with any player.

Lin Bo sat cross-legged in meditation, and nearly three hours passed before he opened his eyes.

The proficiency of the Black Snake Meditation Technique increased by 1.4. Only a complete meditation like this can increase the proficiency. To put it another way, practicing the Mantra Control Technique will be very helpful for him to improve his meditation level.

His stomach growled. Lin Bo took out the packaged bread, salted fish, and water from his pocket. This was his daily diet.

The bread is dry, the salted fish tastes bitter and fishy, ​​and the clear water has a faint smell of sourness.

"Let's go to the White Snail Tavern for dinner tonight," Lin Bo thought as he ate. He had saved a little money from selling shipwreck coins, which not only paid off Old Tim's inheritance but also provided him with some extra cash to improve his living conditions.

In the last practice in the afternoon, Lin Bo did not act recklessly, but stared at the rotating target and thought about his strategy.

On the sea not far away, circling seagulls are fishing. They swoop lightly from the air, tearing the water surface with their claws and toes, and grabbing the dazed little fish.

"Birds are my teachers. There were no air combat skills in human martial arts in previous lives. So if I want to get inspiration, I have to learn from birds and fighter jets." Lin Bo thought.

"Are there any techniques suitable for aerial combat with humanoid creatures?"

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

There are no humans fighting in air combat in reality, but they do exist in fantasy works, and Lin Bo had even caught a glimpse of it when browsing the merchant's inventory, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Brother Agilent, I want to buy the Mobile Suit Fighting Skills Manual

[Duolian Duoyi Network-Merchant Agilent]: Let me test it, buddy, are you driving a Gundam?

[Lighthouse Guest]: I want to use it myself

[Agilent]: I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked.jpg

Mobile Suit, a well-known fantasy work, has many derivative conceptual elements and has a large number of fans among online game players.

In the proving grounds of the multiverse, the skills of piloting mobile suits have been honed and improved countless times, and finally a set of unarmed and weapon-based combat techniques for air, water, and space combat specifically for humanoid combat weapons has been compiled.

Mecha fighting techniques have thus become a monument in the martial arts of the universe.

To Lin Bo, his body is indeed just a mecha. But isn't his mind also that of a Gundam pilot?

Mecha combat is an important branch of the martial arts department, and there are many related skill books.

However, Lin Bo simply bought the data files and taught himself. After all, true mecha combat is more like driving a car, with the driver pulling the joystick, or more advanced neural connections. The essence lies in the coordination between the human and the body.

All he needed were the techniques and concepts used in mecha fighting, focusing on the "form" rather than the "spirit".

"The Essentials of Frost Sky Mecha Fighting Techniques" is priced at 40 Disaster Coins. If it is a skill book, it will be 8000 Disaster Coins.

This shows how much equipment and items that can directly increase combat effectiveness are in high demand. In comparison, a new player-friendly auxiliary skill like Meditation is truly inexpensive and good value.

Now with only six Disaster Coins left, Lin Bo felt a sense of peace and contentment. He flipped through the paper cheats, discarding most of the driving techniques that didn't make sense to him. There wasn't much left that was actually useful.

Even so, this kind of experience and skills based entirely on three-dimensional space combat still opened Lin Bo's eyes. It was not something he could summarize just by practicing and thinking here.

This set of Frost Sky Flow Machine Tactics was compiled after a large number of computer simulations and actual combat screenings, and it gathered the inspiration of countless pilots in times of crisis, and finally became a school of its own. It pays special attention to air-to-air and air-to-ground suppression. When fighting, it is like a frosty wind that fills the sky and penetrates every gap.

Techniques emphasize crispness and agility, often employing spears, halberds, and long-handled swords as primary weapons. They must exploit openings and attack enemies without sacrificing their own. Incorporating real-time calculations from onboard artificial intelligence, they can dodge enemy attacks like a feather swimming in the air, requiring exceptional mobility.

The pilot who performs the Frost Sky Style will install a large number of vector nozzles on the mecha, but Lin Bo does not have that condition, so he can only rely on the Mantra Control Technique to forcibly simulate the actual effect.

Thanks to the powerful effect of the Mantra Control Technique, after practicing a few times, Lin Bo was able to replicate the tactical movements of the mecha almost perfectly, which was exactly the same as the technical points described in the secret book. It can be said that he has reached the advanced realm of man-machine unity that many pilots pursue throughout their lives.

However, extreme high-speed maneuvers can still place a significant strain on the body. Sudden acceleration can cause cerebral ischemia, leading to fainting and damage to internal organs.

The Frost Sky Style has a total of 44 established moves. Lin Bo can only handle the first 14 moves, and can only use 7 moves in actual combat. But this is more than enough.

"(Word Spirit) Bronze Moon." Lin Bo jumped up and glided forward like a falcon with its wings spread.

The rotating rubber pile swept the weapon bar towards the mage, and the flying figure floated slightly upward like a blown feather, with the waist and abdomen clear of the end of the bar.

The black shadow in the air approached within a few inches, then suddenly dived like a fish to avoid sight, and then circled up like a snake. When passing by, the short spear in his hand was thrust backwards, and his posture seemed to be light as if he didn't intend to use any force, but the spear head had already sunk deeply into the pile.

The heavy target jumped as if it had been hit by an explosion, fell back to the ground, and staggered twice before regaining its balance. The short spear stuck in it was still trembling slightly.

From maneuverability to power, the skills simulated by the Mantra Control Technique already have some of the charm of the original Frost Sky Style.

Lin Bo no longer has any worries about tomorrow's dungeon exploration.

Chapter 7 Weird Demon

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun burns quietly on the sea.

It was the bustling hour at the White Snail Tavern. Workers finishing their shifts and fishermen preparing for a night trip gathered together, those tired from a day's work drinking to soothe their fatigue, while the fishermen who had slept all day drank to refresh themselves.

A group of whaler sailors crowded into the tavern, sat at the bar, ordered a glass of watered-down moonshine, asked for a plate of fried anchovies, and listened to the owner tell the town gossip.

"Old Tim is dead, Old Tim who kept the lighthouse," the boss said, wiping his tin cup carefully. "You sea fishermen, don't you know that?"

"Is there such a thing?" The sailor who just returned was obviously surprised and a little sad. "Then who is keeping watch now?"

"A new lighthouse keeper," the boss said. "He's a very young man. Although he has black hair, his eyes are brown, and his facial features are different from ours."

The young waitress picked up the tray filled with wine glasses and said quickly, "It's a foreigner. He looks like a capable man."

"Jiling, how can you, a fool like you, tell who is capable? You can't even tell the difference between mackerel and horse mackerel." The boss laughed.

"Uncle!" Ji Ling ran away with a red face.

"No one would want to stay in a lighthouse? It's cold and damp, you have to keep the light every night, there's no one to chat with, and the salary is pitifully low." The sailor disagreed.

The boss lowered his voice and said, “That foreigner was rescued from the beach by Old Tim a month ago.

"Maybe he was a foreign traveler who had been shipwrecked. To repay Old Tim, he took over his job, that's probably it.

"But if you ask me, ambitious young people won't be content to stay in a lighthouse and rot in the sea breeze."

jingle--

The doorbell rang, and the drinkers near the bar looked back. A black-haired, thin young man walked in. He was wearing a slim gray-black windbreaker. His footsteps were wrapped in the cool autumn sea breeze. His exotic face made many rude country people rub their cheeks unconsciously.

"No wonder Ji Ling is thinking about it." A textile worker joked, drawing approving laughter.

"Hush—keep your voice down."

"It doesn't matter. He's a foreigner and can't understand what we're talking about."

"Aha, that's all right then. But if you ask me, this fellow has skinny arms and a pale face. He must be a wealthy foreigner."

Lin Bo came to the bar, handed over two bills, and said softly, "Mr. Giraud, I want a glass of wine, a bowl of beans, a plate of fried fish, and a plate of whale meat."

The teasing sounds around suddenly disappeared, and Ji Ling smiled and appreciated the uncomfortable expressions of these rough guys.

"Your Knin is getting better and better."

"Old Tim was a good teacher."

"Every one of us feels very sorry about him." Giro attended the funeral and had met Lin Bo once.

Lin Bo found a corner of the tavern and sat down. The girl named Ji Ling quickly served the dishes and waited at his table for a while before leaving.

Watered-down moonshine, spicy baked beans in tomato sauce, crispy fried anchovies, smoked whale meat—that's what Old Tim kept mumbling about before he got too sick to speak.

At that time, Lin Bo was also swallowing his saliva while listening to the old man describe the taste of the food.

Old Tim wasn't too poor to eat in a tavern, but he was used to living frugally, and it wasn't until he realized he'd never have the chance to eat a good meal again that he began to yearn for it. In the end, he never got to eat that one.

Lin Bo didn't touch the glass of wine. Instead, he tasted some side dishes with the water he brought and the leftover bread.

When he put the smoked whale meat into his mouth, he suddenly paused.

The cursed power around the real name rune, which was on the verge of exhaustion, seemed to increase by an imperceptible amount.

"Could this whale meat be used as a material for spiritual medicine?" Lin Bo chewed the dry and hard whale meat. The taste was not very good, but it was acceptable as a side dish for drinking. It was chewy and salty.

The whaling industry in the Windward Islands has a long history. Especially in modern times, as the industrial potential of whale oil has been realized, market demand has increased dozens of times, and slaughterhouses and processing plants have sprung up.

Due to overfishing, the population has plummeted and the price of whale oil has been rising year by year. However, whale meat is still relatively cheap due to its huge reserves.

Lin Bo finished a plate of smoked whale meat, his cheeks sore from chewing it, confirming that the recovery of his cursed power was not an illusion.

However, this effect is almost negligible, and is even less significant than the increase in recovery from physical and mental cultivation.

"Perhaps fresh whale meat would be more effective. Besides whale meat, other parts might also be effective."

Exploring medicinal properties is an entry-level skill in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Because the plant species and medicinal properties in different worlds are different, if players on the Internet want to become pharmacists, they must first go through the path of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.

Lin Bo has already decided to choose a skill for identifying medicinal properties, the "Pharmacist's Tongue Identification" worth 60 disaster coins.

It is possible to infer the effects of medicinal materials on the human body by tasting them. The disadvantage is that it is impossible to analyze the specific ingredients. The advantage is that it is highly universal, the speed of judging the medicinal properties is extremely fast, etc., and the price is also very reasonable.

After learning the art of identifying medicinal herbs, I can buy some whale products to try, and then I will know whether these things can restore spiritual strength and how effective they are.
