Chapter 3 God-level transfer to the mage class, Lord of Ice! The secret ring!

Lu Cheng muttered silently.

[Equipment: None]

…………

Glancing at the properties panel.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

Upgrading improved attributes is simple.

The blood volume and mana volume are 10 points each, the five-dimensional attribute is 1 point each, and the physical attack and spell attack are also 1 point each.

The most critical thing is these 5 free attribute points.

In the early stages of the disaster, equipment and skills were scarce, which was the most important means of improvement.

For a mage, the two most important attributes are intelligence and spirit.

Intelligence increases spell damage, and spirit increases mana.

Many mages in the previous life had 4 intelligence and 1 spirit, or 3 intelligence and 2 spirit points in the early stage.

However, for Lu Cheng.

With the stacks of [Endless Drain], he has no shortage of damage.

What is needed more is battery life and survival.

That is agility, constitution and spirit.

"Wait a minute, the Ice Lord's job change seems to be in the Northeast!"

After recalling it, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

In the previous life, after the Northeastern region was recovered, a god-level job transfer mission was given, and he was the Ice Lord of the mage system!
  He was not the first mage to be exposed to the job transfer task, but because the conditions were too harsh and no one before him could satisfy them, it fell into his hands.

It took three months for this mission to be successfully accepted.

The conditions required for god-level job transfer are too harsh!

If you want to accept the job transfer mission of the Lord of Ice, you must have a spiritual attribute of 60 points at level 450!
  In other words.

Not only the attribute points must be fully increased, but also the spirit.

You also need to obtain at least 90 additional free attribute points and allocate them to your spirit.

However, Lu Cheng was still quite moved.

Although the conditions are harsh, there is no doubt that it is powerful!

The mage who was transferred to the god-level profession Ice Lord, was originally only second-tier in strength. Within half a year after the transfer, he became one of the top ten masters of Xia Kingdom!
  After thinking about it, Lu Cheng added all 5 free attribute points to his spirit.

Even if he doesn't change his job as Lord of Ice, mana is an attribute he needs urgently now.

[Ding, free attribute points are allocated successfully, spirit +5, upper limit of mana +50. 】

Attribute points are allocated.

Lu Cheng's mana reached 210.

Not counting mana recovery, he can cast fireball 21 times in a row.

Then, Lu Cheng looked around.

There are level 1 zombies all around.

He is now level 2. If he brushes level 1 monsters again, he will face an experience penalty.

After thinking about it, Lu Cheng made a decision.

Although it is definitely safer to farm level 1 monsters to stack talent layers.

But under the experience penalty, one zombie may only give two or three points of experience, and it takes more than 200 to reach level 3.

Super god-level talents are strong, but in the early stage, if you only care about the number of stacks, you will lose sight of one thing and miss the other.

In the early stages, level is also critical, providing the other attributes he needs.

When the level is raised, the casting speed and cooling time are increased, making it much faster than now.

Looking at it this way, the result is obvious.

When his output is sufficient, it is more efficient to farm level 2 monsters.

Lu Cheng stood up, carefully avoided the large group of zombies, and began to search for areas where level 2 monsters were infested.

If you encounter a small group of zombies that you can't get around, just use a few fireballs to wipe them out.

It was pretty much what he thought. Killing level 2 zombies after level 1 would only result in a pitiful 2 points of experience.

After a long time.

Lu Cheng stopped in front of a farmland.

He searched for more than an hour and almost reached the edge of the county seat.

During this period, two level 2 monster areas were also discovered.

However, he bypassed them all. One is a mutated scarecrow, the monsters are too dense, and one of them is a large area.

One is a demonized leech, which is too fast and difficult to kite.

And now.

In front of him were level 2 stone beetles, half a man tall, crawling in and out covered in thick carapace.

"It's here."

Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

The stone beetle has thick blood, high defense, and slow speed, which meets his requirements.

Moreover, this kind of monster has a hidden attribute that none of the previous three types have.

Communal!
  This is a mechanism that was only fully understood in the middle of the Catastrophe.

Monsters with community attributes form a group of their own.

Killing a certain number of mobs may lead to elite monsters or even black iron level BOSS.

Of course, the odds are quite low.

However, even if not, stone beetles are the most suitable monster for him to farm.

Take a short rest.

Lu Cheng started to kill monsters.

Aim at a lone stone beetle and throw a fireball.

"Oh!"
-
  499.

The damage numbers popped up, and the stone beetle's health dropped by more than half, and it began to crawl towards Lu Cheng.

But the speed is really unflattering. Lu Cheng didn't even have to move, and the CD of the fireball was turned before the stone beetle could reach him.

"Oh!"
-
  507.

Another fireball hit, and the stone beetle's health bar bottomed out, dying.

This injury surprised even Lu Cheng himself.

This kind of armored monster has thick blood and high defense. According to the output of a normal mage at level 2, it may not be possible to kill it even if it is empty of ten mana tubes.

As a result, even though his magic power was stacked up, it still took two hits!
  [Ding, you killed the stone beetle (level 2) and gained +25 experience points. 】

"This experience is so rich!"

After checking the harvest, Lu Cheng was quite satisfied.

This efficiency is 10 times faster than killing zombies.

If this continues, if you don't get 20 stone beetles, it will be enough to level up.

Lu Cheng kept throwing out fireballs one after another.

After half an hour.

[Ding, your skill Fireball has been upgraded to level 2. 】

[Ding, you have reached level 3 and gained free attribute points +5. 】

Two system prompts sounded one after another.

Fireball has been upgraded to level 2, and the damage has been increased to 25 points. Everything else remains unchanged.

Glancing at the skills, Lu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

For low-level mages, the damage of the fireball spell has more than doubled, which is a huge improvement.

But to him, it was nothing more than a mosquito leg.

As for the 5 free attribute points for upgrade.

Lu Cheng still put in the effort.

Then, he walked deeper into the farmland.

Monsters that appear in groups may not all be of the same level.

really.

Not long after gone.

Lu Cheng smiled.

In front of him were groups of stone beetles that were several times larger.

Each of these stone beetles is holding grass blades and grains, just like worker ants in an ant colony, and their levels are three.

and.

What made Lu Cheng happy.

Among this group of worker insects, one is very eye-catching. Its carapace is not black, but dark red!
  "Mutant!"

Looking at the red stone beetle, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

Mutated monsters are quite special, and their combat power may not be as high as that of elite monsters, but the rewards are often quite good!

He glanced around.

Determined not to attract other stone beetles, Lu Cheng decisively rolled out a fireball.

"Oh!"
-
  996.

Terrifying damage numbers popped up, nearly four digits, and the red stone beetle had less than one-third of its health left.

Lu Cheng was stuck on CD for 5 seconds, and another fireball came out.
-
  1005!

A four-digit damage number appeared above his head, and the red stone beetle was sent away directly.

[Ding, you killed the stone beetle worker insect (level 3, mutated) and gained +255 experience points. 】

The experience provided by level 3 monsters is generally between 40-60.

This mutant monster provided 5 times the experience, which increased Lu Cheng's experience bar by a small amount.

However, what Lu Cheng was more concerned about was the flash of blue light emerging from the corpse of the stone beetle.

In the blue light, there is a ring.

"Did the equipment explode?"

Lu Cheng stepped forward quickly, picked up the ring, and the name of the equipment appeared.
