With a touch of sadness, he tried to click on Sora's skill slot.
It's not that there are no available skills, but it suddenly jumps to the "warehouse" interface that he is more familiar with, which displays three cobblestones that look like blood, but have a fruit-like appearance and are also like hearts. His body was beating, and every beat seemed to be absorbing demonic power...
It is the trophy he obtained before, the soul core of the demon ghost, which is essentially a core formed by the essence of power.
Two of them fell out of the ancestral hall of Shisanying Village. They belonged to the ape ghost and an ordinary demon ghost respectively. As for the third one, it was the soul of the last horse-headed ghost that died miserably. The core was a trophy he picked up while hurriedly cleaning the battlefield before taking the girl down the mountain.
"Hmm...can the soul core be directly used as a skill badge equipment?"
Gu Mo's eyes flickered. This is very similar to the performance in the game. The soul core of the demon is attached to the guardian spirit, so that the guardian spirit has the skills of the demon. And because he is possessed by the guardian spirit, he can use The power of the guardian spirit, so he also indirectly mastered the skills of demons and ghosts.
He tried to switch back to his own skill page and click on the empty skill slot, but found that the soul core could not be operated...
He tried to remove his only skill badge, put it in the warehouse, and then switched back to the skill page of the guardian spirit just now, and found that he could only select the soul core without displaying the one he had just removed. Life Potential” skill badge.
So, the system comment about the use of the ghost's soul core as "can be used as a skill badge" actually refers to its use on the guardian spirit? However, you cannot do this in your own skill bar. Only regular skill badges can be equipped.
And the reverse is also true? Guardian spirits cannot use the skill badges provided by the system, and can only choose soul cores to equip them?
After figuring this out, Gu Mo felt a little regretful, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that he was not greedy enough. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the guardian spirit can attach to the soul core, allowing him to indirectly master the skills of those demons and ghosts, seems to have a considerable degree of value.
Because if there is no way to increase skill slots, then according to the current situation, the maximum number of skill badges that Gu Mo can install is ten. If it exceeds this number, he will have to make a choice among the portable skill badges. …
You need to bring damage-type skills, otherwise how can you have a means of output? You should also bring defensive skills and strengthen your own survivability.
Then there are things like control, gain, displacement, prop use or production, etc. He brought classic game ideas into thinking and found that if there were only ten slots, it would be quite stressful to choose skills. ’s... And this functionality of the guardian spirit is equivalent to nearly doubling the number of his skill slots.
Even though there are restrictions on the skills that can be selected, as long as they are properly matched, he may have greater freedom in his own skill slots instead of being so nervous and stretched.
After thinking about it, Gu Mo suddenly felt a lot better. He moved his eyes and looked to the lower left, where there were two label-like patterns. He just focused on it when the labels slid out. , display the hidden sub-page information.
——"Safety of the gods: After receiving the protection of the guardian spirit, it can bring powerful permanent protection and special abilities to the host (fire resistance +20, luck +70, fire damage +15%)."
——"Possession Summoning: Actively summon the appearance of the guardian spirit, or let the guardian spirit possess itself to take advantage of its powerful power (consuming 1 energy point per second, cannot be used if the energy value is less than 10 points)."
This seems to be an inherent skill of the guardian spirit itself. One is a permanent protection and blessing, which works like a halo at all times. Although he does not quite understand the extent of the protection provided by those numerical values. , but it’s a good thing after all.
The second inherent skill was also within his expectation. In this world, people who can be protected by guardian spirits are not simple people. Maybe not everyone can realize this, but those who can realize this , often able to actively activate the power of the guardian spirit, instead of just having passive permanent protection.
For example, Zaga Sonichi gained the ability to fly through the possession of Yatagarasu;
There are also Shibata Katsuie and Asai Nagamasa who fused themselves with their guardian spirits, causing themselves to transform into powerful monsters;
And the No. 1 archer of Tokaido, Imagawa Yoshimoto, during the Battle of Okehazama, he actually took the initiative to create abnormal weather with dark clouds and thunderstorms, summoned thunder to attack the enemies on the battlefield, and also used the guardian spirit Rokuga The great power of the elephant.
"But if you need energy..." Gu Mo touched his chin, thought about it, and felt that there might not be a big problem. After all, in those cases where the guardian spirit power was actively used, not everyone had spiritual power or demonic power. special power.
When I get the chance, I can give it a try. Maybe physical strength, mental strength, etc. can also be regarded as one of the blue bars?
He opened the upgrade page again, and found that it was different from what he had imagined. There was only one guardian spirit level, currently LV1. The progress bar was also empty, and below were four very special attributes, respectively. It's "life", "demon power", "armor", and "resistance".
Behind each attribute is a neat row of progress bars divided into rectangular grids. Most of them are empty grids with dotted lines. Only the first grid behind each attribute shows a bright solid appearance, such as It seems to be "lit".
The level of the guardian spirit should be to choose to improve these attributes. Initially, all attributes are only one level. Later, you need to choose the corresponding route for specialization?
Gu Mo nodded with some understanding, but he still wanted liver.
As for the final "Equipment" and "Appearance" interfaces, there wasn't much to say. Indeed, there was nothing. After roughly exploring it, he had a certain understanding of the functions of the Guardian Spirit and switched back to the initial interface. .
I remember that I seemed to have obtained some achievements, but where should I look?
He browsed around and found that he could not find the relevant button to choose to enter the page. Finally, his eyes slowly moved down and looked at the row of garbled options below his reflection. It seemed that these were the only ones that were more suspicious. , it’s just a temporary malfunction and I can’t click on it at all.
Thinking helplessly, he tried to click on the garbled options one by one, only to find that the garbled options that had no response before actually responded this time - although the display was still garbled, he could click on it! After being stunned for a moment, Gu Mo's eyes lit up when he reacted.
really! Isn't the mentally retarded system always hanging in the background and not doing anything, but also working hard to repair itself?
Great, I don’t deserve to trust it so much! From today on, it is my most trustworthy golden finger!
Suppressing his excitement and anxiety, Gu Mo quickly browsed the first page and found that it was a very simple interface layout, with only "Friends", "Blacklist" and "Mailbox"...
So the first option below is actually the friend function?
Gu Mo didn't have time to explore it carefully. After all, the friend function only had that kind of presence in the game, and it didn't seem to have much effect. So he just browsed it briefly, and immediately tried to open the second option, so the new page replaced the friend list page and appeared in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the second one seems to be the achievement list. In the interface layout filled with dense gray question mark patterns, two patterns at the top of the upper left corner light up, and the content is revealed.
The first one had a copper-tin colored badge called "Beginner". He didn't know when he got it, and Gu Mo had no memory of it at all. Although it is an achievement, it is also a title. The badge effect is activated by default. The description is——
"Beginner (Bronze): A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Before the life level or career level reaches level 10, the experience gained by the player through any means is increased by 25% (active)."
The second achievement was the golden pattern, which was also the achievement that he had an impression of before.
"First Blood (Gold): All great works require sacrifices. Your enemies do not need to understand, but they will obey. The experience gained by players through fighting and killing is increased by 100%, which cannot be compared with other Limited type bonus effects take effect at the same time (activating)."
Gu Mo suddenly became excited. This was a good thing, and it was indeed the reward he needed most at the moment.
For a new player like him who is broke and has nothing, everything is really empty. Only upgrades and the efficiency of upgrades are the last word! If he had reached level 20 before, no, even if he was only level 10, would the scene in the Thirteen Sakura Village still be so embarrassing and thrilling?
Holding back his excitement, he browsed through the other gray question mark patterns again, knowing that these should be other achievements or title badges that have not yet been unlocked, and may correspond to some particularly useful buffs. Unfortunately, he can't see or touch them now. Tried clicking and got no response.
After struggling for a while, he could only quit with a sigh and continue browsing other options.
In the following experiments, the opening operations of the third and fourth options failed. While the harsh current coursed through the nerves, a line of prompts also flashed on the interface reflected on the water surface, clearly Tell him clearly what the reason is——
"You cannot use this feature during a mission."
This did not disappoint Gu Mo, but made him think even more.
After clicking on the fifth option, it worked normally, but what appeared in front of him were several different secondary options - "Graphics", "Audio", "Games", "Display"... And in these secondary options Under the options, there are numerous sub-options.
What "clarity", "resolution", "background sound effects", "dialogue sound effects", "subtitle switch", "use of language"...
The interface was too familiar and too classic, which made him look awkward. He didn't know what to say for a while. He could only confirm that this mentally retarded system might have some serious illness.
With inexplicable hope, he clicked on the last option.
——"Do you want to end the game?"
A little cold and surprised by the other prompts, it told him very clearly what this option corresponded to.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Mo's expression changed inexplicably. He was not quite sure whether exiting the game meant aborting the mission, exiting the current copy, or completely ending the entire "game". If it's the latter, how will it end?
When I woke up, I found that I was in reality, and everything about the system and copies no longer existed. It seemed like I had a strange dream?
Or has the power of rules that turned everything into games simply disappeared, and even he has not been able to escape from the copy and return to the safe real world? What's even more sad is that he may have "ended the game" and his entire life.
Thinking of this, Gu Mo suddenly became depressed. This mentally retarded system always acted out of common sense, and he really didn't dare to take risks on this point.
"Um, brother Gu Mo, are you okay?"
Until Tokichiro's somewhat urgent voice came from behind, calling him back to reality from his depression, and he realized that he had been squatting by the river for too long. So Gu Mo quickly gathered his thoughts and waved his hands behind him without looking back: "It's okay, it's okay. I just squatted for a long time and my legs are a little numb. I'll get over it..."
Forget it, don't touch the last option.
At least for now, everything is developing in a good direction. The mentally retarded system was not usable at all at the beginning, and then it was partially functional to a certain extent, and now it has fixed some bugs that still existed yesterday...
Gu Mo thought as optimistically as possible, thinking that maybe in a few days, his golden finger would be able to fully complete self-examination and self-repair, and it was uncertain whether it would completely return to normal. At that time, he would not need to always It's so high blood pressure.
He re-equipped his only skill, then picked up the leather water bag filled with water on the ground, turned around and left the shore, returning to the carriage.
…………
The long night passed, a night without words.
There is nothing worth mentioning. I was driving all night in the wilderness, and I was inevitably attacked by ghosts and monsters. However, after a few waves, I lost my life. I didn’t even see the girl’s sword clearly. , were beheaded by the owl one after another.
The sun rises in the east, then slowly moves to the highest point in the sky, and then slowly sets as time goes by.
As the sun set in the west and the afterglow stretched all the shadows on the earth, the group of three people, who had been traveling for two days and one night, finally arrived at Inabayama Castle, which is located on the Mino Plain and is built on the mountain. The castle has three floors inside and outside, and the landmark building can be seen from miles away. It is a three-story, five-story castle tower that is entirely white.
Looking at everything in front of him, Gu Mo felt a little emotional. Although it contained magical elements, the customs and customs of this historical period were still vivid in his mind.
If the phone hadn't automatically shut down because it hadn't been charged for two days, he would have wanted to take pictures of everything along the way.
When entering the city, it could be seen that Tokichiro was indeed an acquaintance, and perhaps had some status, so the soldiers guarding the city all knew him. They casually said a few words and let him go after taking some money.
"I'm going to meet the three masters of Saito Road now, Brother Gu Mo, and Miss Axiu. Do you want to come with me? If you don't want to, you can have a good rest here first, but I still hope that you will come together, at least It can make Master Dao San look familiar and leave an impression..."
After taking the two of them to a relatively clean and simple longhouse in the inner city, Tokichiro chuckled and rubbed his hands, saying this while inviting the two of them to sit down and take a rest. His eyes seemed to be shining brightly, as if he had seen that he had everything ready and all he needed was the east wind, waiting for the Lord of Meinong to give him a chance to stand out.
"..."
"..."
The black-haired girl frowned slightly, looked in the direction of someone, and then looked at Tokichiro.
"Oh oh oh, look at my memory... let's go see the doctor first, come on, brother Gu Mo!" After reacting immediately, Tokichiro secretly cursed himself for not being smart. He also used this reason to convince Miss Axiu at the time. It was here, why have I forgotten it all of a sudden now?
Of course, I can't blame him. After another day and night, Gu Mo seemed to act like nothing happened——
Even though I fell asleep for a long time on the way, there was nothing wrong with it, and I made it clear before falling asleep.
"No, no, no, really no, I know what's going on with me, you don't have to worry..." Gu Mo waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want to see a doctor. If he didn't say that he was fine, even if he was really sick, in this era The medical level is also really unacceptable.
"Let's go meet that one first... ahem, let's meet that Dao San Dao..."
He said, then looked at the black-haired girl as if he remembered something.
"By the way, Axiu, please stop covering your face. That's not very polite..."
Politeness is of course just rhetoric. The main reason is that in the original plot, Axiu seemed to have her face covered, so Saito Douzan could not recognize her... Otherwise, Hidechiyo and Yoshiryu are actually twins , how could Saito Douzan not discover it.
It's okay if he doesn't know this. If he knows, Gu Mo will certainly take advantage of it. After all, connections are also a very important advantage. Axiu is a well-deserved leader in terms of strength and status.
This is Meinong, and Axiu was originally Princess Meinong.
Well, it’s not that he wants to eat soft food all the time, but he only stares at one, it’s just... so delicious.
