Chapter 5: Upgraded

The Ranger class has an awkward position in the game, and it is officially positioned as a powerful long-range firepower provider and a natural animal tamer.

However, all ranged weapons in Echo of the Gods have a -15% hit penalty, and considering the actual combat level of players, the accuracy of archery in real combat will not exceed 50% as long as the distance is more than 20 meters.

It's just too low.

The Ranger gains 5 energy points when hitting a normal attack, and doubles the energy value when hitting a critical hit, and most skills consume energy points, and the low hit rate cannot guarantee the most basic energy consumption at all.

Not to mention catching pets, if you want to catch the best pets at a low level, it is better to buy a lottery ticket.

You said take a knife and cut it? So why play Ranger, which is not better than a Ranger among thieves, warriors, and warrior monks?

So after the initial craze of the game, the number of Ranger players plummeted, and it was on the verge of replacing the Warlock at the bottom as the least populated panda class in Echoes of the Gods.

The bald warrior's brain is spinning fast, this backpack expansion mission is a solo mission, this ranger can complete it, he is definitely a master!

"Brother, don't be busy, our guild is recruiting, are you interested in joining?" The bald warrior also reacted quickly, noticing that Lu Kuan did not have a guild badge on his chest, and immediately changed his way of thinking.

The rest of the people also reacted, and they were very friendly with Lu Kuan, what is the most important thing in this century? Talent! Playing a rare profession like Ranger is definitely a big boost for the team.

The other party spoke very politely, Lu Kuan could only refuse with a smile, and finally used the excuse that he had already had a guild with his classmates, so he got rid of the few people who were still unsatisfied and left the morning market.

The task went smoothly, and it only took five minutes for the tailor Mitchell to add two inventory slots to Lu Kuan's backpack.

In this way, you can carry an extra set of fresh water and food, or a medium-sized weapon, which is a supreme blessing for Lu Kuan, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the Backpack Expansion Quest and gaining 190 XP points."

"Character Level Increased: 10"

"You've been prompted that you've earned 1 Skill Point and 1 Specialty Point, please assign them to the option you want to improve."

The game character gets 1 skill point for every 1 level, and 1 specialty point for every 10 levels, Lu Kuan has already planned, opens the character panel, and adds the specialty points to the "abundant physical fitness", and the skill points are given to aim.

Stamina: +30% of the character's maximum HP.

Aim: 1.5 seconds cast time, deals extra physical damage to the target, and restores 12 energy, depending on the character's attributes and weapon quality.

In this way, the physical strength has become 62, the aiming skill has also been increased to level 2, and the combat endurance has been greatly improved, which makes Lu Kuan feel a lot more at ease.

After completing this task, Mitchell gave Lu Kuan a follow-up mission, which was called "More Backpacks (Difficulty B+)", which was more difficult and perverted, but the reward was coveted - it was a separate 10-grid backpack.

Players can equip up to 4 separate backpacks at the same time, and each additional backpack can improve the endurance qualitatively.

Players who threw backpack expansion items at the auction house would have vomited blood with regret if they learned the news.

But now, the backpack task can only be on the back row of Lu Kuan's schedule, Lu Kuan said goodbye to Mitchell, left the business district, and came to the alchemy hall of Lava Castle.

This rectangular hall is a public alchemy room, and for a small amount of rent, you can use expensive alchemy utensils, which is the first choice for most life players.

At this time, the hall was deserted, and under the light of the magic torch, only two or three people could be seen working with their heads buried in it, Lu Kuan glanced casually, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

It was a human female warrior, dressed in light brown chain mail with a white gauze covering her face, and her head was lowered and she was intently fiddling with alchemical tools.

Today is the fifth time, Lu Kuan can see her every time he comes to the alchemy hall, although the game allows female players to cover their faces out of consideration for protecting women's privacy, but Lu Kuan can still easily recognize her.

Because this girl is at least 175 tall, her slender figure is very eye-catching, and the eyes exposed are long and charming, but the eyes are cold and scary, as long as it is a normal man, he can't help but look at it twice, and the recognition is too high.

Lu Kuan didn't have the leisure to talk to him now, but just glanced at the female warrior's bumpy figure, and then came to his alchemy table.

Lu Kuan skillfully lit the lamp, put various materials on the table for simple processing, and then refined them in turn according to the skill prompts...... The more precise the operation, the better the time, and the higher the success rate of the pharmaceutical formulation.

The levels of life professions in the game are primary, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster and grandmaster, each level has 3 levels, and when you reach the grandmaster level, you have to look at the chance to improve.

All life skills are like this, boring and boring, there is no fun to speak of, but if you want to outdo everyone else, there is only one way to go.

"Refining failure, loss of 2 silver root grass plants, 1 additive ......"

"Successful refining, congratulations on obtaining a level 1 recovery potion (1 bottle), skill proficiency +1, current alchemy skill proficiency: level 2 37% ......"

"Refining Failed ......"

Lu Kuan quickly entered a state of selfless concentration, as the materials on the table became less and less, and the finished products on the right-hand side became more and more, and unconsciously, the sky outside the window slowly brightened.

The orange morning light shone in obliquely, pulling out a long shadow of the things on the table, and the sunlight reflected by the glass bottle was a little dazzling, Lu Kuan subconsciously squinted his eyes, and then found that it was dawn.

At this time, the number of players in the alchemy hall gradually increased, but the table in the corner was empty, and the beautiful warrior had left at some point.

"It's almost time~"

Lu Kuan stretched his comfortable waist, packed up his things, and went straight to the north gate, just after leaving the lava castle, the message manager "Didi" sounded.

"I knew you would go online so early, let's practice together~" Dai Guang's gong-like voice came out of the intercom.

Dai Guang's profession is a priest, and Lu Kuan knew that the other party was afraid that it would be too difficult for him to level up as a ranger, so he replied with a smile: "Don't worry about me, you practice yours, I have other things." ”

"Okay, don't be reckless, you're a ranger who wants to practice alone is just looking for death." Dai Guang knew Lu Kuan's character, so he didn't say much, just reminded Lu Kuan.

Lu Kuan agreed with a smile, said a few pleasantries, and hung up the intercom.

The map of the green hills north of Lava Castle is a vast leveling area, with everything from a level 1 boar to a level 9 venomous tarantula.

Lu Kuan walked all the way east along the main road, carefully avoiding the high-level monsters wandering on the main road, and killing the small monsters that could not be avoided as soon as possible.
