Chapter 42 Skill and Team

Feng Bujue was overjoyed. Although the effect of this skill was somewhat different from the outward-release type of active attack skill he had imagined, it would undoubtedly greatly improve his hard power in battle.

He decisively learned and equipped the skill, and then another system prompt sounded:

【This is your Ling Li (spiritual energy) value, and the specific value is visible. Using Ling Shu (spiritual art) skills will consume this value. The Ling Li value can only be restored through rest or specific items/plots in the script. The system store does not provide any Ling Li recovery potions. Current Ling Li value: 140/140.】

Along with the system voice, the game menu automatically appeared in front of Feng Bujue. An arrow pointed to the upper left of the interface, and a new energy bar gradually emerged below the Stamina value, displayed in silver-white.

"Hmm...it only opens after learning a skill..." Feng Bujue muttered. He already knew about the new setting of Ling Li value from the game instructions. He was wondering just now why the new energy bar was still not visible in the menu. It turned out that learning a related skill would make it appear.

From this value, it seems that the Ling Li value is also linked to the level. Level fourteen is one hundred and forty points. Compared with Stamina, this data has shrunk to one-tenth. Of course, Stamina is used in many places, walking, running, jumping, hitting, moving, basically any behavior will consume a little, while Ling Li is only used for skills, so there is no need for too large a number to represent it.

After receiving the extra experience and skill card, Feng Bujue prepared to queue up for a script again. At this moment, the real-world time was less than five o'clock in the afternoon. If all went well, his goal of reaching level fifteen might be completed before dinner.

Although the official website has not explicitly stated it, according to the summary of player discussions on the forum, it can be roughly determined that non-sleep mode scripts rarely have extremely long completion times. Those long-term scripts with a virtual use time of more than eight hours are mostly encountered in sleep mode.

Feng Bujue was also planning to prepare dinner after finishing this script, so he didn't delay any longer, quickly returned to the Login Space, and contacted Si Yu through the screen. However, the other party was currently in the mall and did not respond to him immediately. A prompt box then popped up on the touch screen: 【Your friend did not answer. She may be in an area outside the Login Space. Do you want to use the text chat function to contact her?】

Feng Bujue clicked yes, and then quickly typed a sentence: "I'm ready here. Contact me when you get back to the Login Space."

Only when all players in the team are in their respective Login Spaces can the captain choose to join the queue. This is also stated in the game instructions, and Feng Bujue naturally knew it.

Si Yu didn't make him wait too long. She quickly returned to the Login Space and called Feng Bujue. After the dialogue was connected, Feng Bujue said, "How is it? Any gains?"

"I didn't look much at the auction house. I went to the system store and bought a set of clothes and chose an attribute that speeds up Ling Li recovery," Si Yu replied.

Feng Bujue was slightly surprised to hear this. He thought that Si Yu's growth direction must be close combat, but he didn't expect the other party to choose a bonus related to the new specialization. But then he thought that the attributes on the clothing are random, perhaps among the three bonuses that Si Yu drew, this one had the highest cost performance; it is also possible that she is using close combat and Ling Shu as the main growth directions, after all, only focusing on one specialization in this game is not a very cost-effective approach.

"Oh," Feng Bujue responded casually, then said, "By the way, opening a guild requires the signatures of three people. Now there are only the two of us, and the number is not enough. Will you be online tonight?"

"Your friends... including me, there are not even three online at the moment?" Si Yu seemed not to have heard Feng Bujue's question, but instead threw back an embarrassing question.

"Um... yeah," Feng Bujue dragged out a long note for a second, giving an affirmative answer.

"Let me guess... Wang Tanzhi, Long Aomin, and Xiao Gutou are all your friends besides me?" Si Yu added.

Xiao Gutou should be Si Yu's nickname for Bei Ling Xiaogu. Feng Bujue thought of it when he heard it. He pretended to think for a few seconds, took a breath, made a "hiss..." sound from his teeth, and then helplessly replied, "Yeah..."

"This is difficult. My situation is similar to yours."

"Damn it!" Feng Bujue shouted in his heart, but he could only think about it in his heart. In reality, he chuckled twice and replied, "Heh... hehe... that's why I'm asking if you'll be online tonight. I'm not sure about Brother Long's side, but Xiao Tan should be online. Counting you and Bei Ling, the number of people to sign will be enough."

"Yeah, okay," Si Yu responded. "But we won't be online for a long time. Connecting to the nerves for too long is bad for the body. I suggest you pay attention too."

"Hey! Before I met you, I only played for more than an hour! Because you saw that I was already online when you came online, you directly thought I was addicted all day long!" Feng Bujue exclaimed in his heart, but he could only reply with a weak voice, "Uh... thank you for your concern."

"In addition, eating on time is also important. After we clear the next script, it may be five or six o'clock. You should go offline and eat something," she added in a calm tone.

"That's what I was thinking in the first place! Who would play to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep! Do you think I'm a middle school student! Now that you've said this, even if I go offline later, it will seem useless!" Feng Bujue's retorts were all held back in his heart. He felt so uncomfortable that he was flailing his arms and legs in his elevator, anyway, the other party couldn't see him...

If Feng Bujue and Si Yu were very familiar, he would have blurted it out, but the two were far from being the kind of friends who could speak without choosing their words, so Feng Bujue could only answer: "Um... I know."

He felt that if this conversation continued, the atmosphere would become like a mother scolding her son, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "That... in order to eat on time, let's queue up quickly."

"Okay," Si Yu replied briefly.

Feng Bujue was relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly operated on the screen.
