Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Chapter 5 Bronze level! Deadly spellcaster! No. 1024!
  After taking a rest, Lu Cheng began to count the harvest.

If you kill the Black Iron BOSS alone, the rewards are really generous.

The experience value required to upgrade from level 3 to level 4 is 3000. Lu Cheng originally farmed the stone beetle engineer and had more than half of the experience bar.

The stone beetle cave dweller gave 1655 experience points and was immediately upgraded!
  Besides.

Killed the same level BOSS alone and got 6 free attribute points!

This was the first time in two lives that he had accomplished this achievement.

After all, although he grew up in the later stages of the disaster.

But the attributes of BOSS monsters of the same level also increase exponentially.

Lu Cheng was a little surprised by the reward for killing the BOSS alone.

"Level 3 Black Iron BOSS has 6 free attribute points..."

In the previous life, during the twenty years of the disaster, many system rules had been summarized into regular patterns.

The reward rules for killing the BOSS alone are also included.

The same is the Black Iron BOSS.

The single kill reward at level 3 is 6 attribute points.

A level 20 BOSS might have 40 points!

After thinking about it, Lu Cheng felt excited.

If we follow this progress.

It is not difficult for him to meet the attribute requirements for Ice Lord's job transfer!

After calming down, Lu Cheng stepped forward to touch the body.

Compared with the experience, the treasures revealed by the BOSS are the biggest factor!
  1 skill book, 7 pieces of equipment, 1 BOSS and 1 mission scroll!
  In addition, there are 15 Origin Stone fragments, which is better than nothing.

Although nearly ten rays of light.

Most are the lowest grade white light.

But as long as you have a piece of equipment that works, you’ll make a lot of money!
  In the early stages of the disaster, especially before level 20.

There are very few people who can put together a set of low-level white equipment.

Lu Cheng was the first to look at the skill book.

[Skill Book: Energy Shield]

【Spell System】

[After use, it takes 1 skill point to master the energy shield skill. 】

For every 3 levels of an ordinary profession, 1 skill point is given, and he just meets the conditions.

"use!"

Lu Cheng patted the skill book and used it directly.

With his talents and strong spells, he has no shortage of output.

One fireball is enough for now.

What is missing are attributes such as life-saving, mana recovery, and CD reduction.

This skill book comes just in time!
  [Ding, you used the skill book and mastered energy shield lv1. 】

[Energy Shield lv1: After chanting for 2 seconds, an energy shield condenses around the body and can follow the caster. Absorbs 20 damage, consumes 30 mana, has a cooling time of 1 minute, a duration of 1 minute, and a proficiency of 0/200. 】

"brush."

Lu Cheng raised his hand and summoned an energy shield.

For ordinary mages, the energy shield can't absorb much damage, which is a bit useless.

But for Lu Cheng, there is no such trouble!

His talent stacking increases the power of all skills!
  In other words.

Originally, the energy shield could only absorb 20 points of damage.

With his 1240-level magic power, he can absorb 1260 points of damage!
  "Just from this skill book, I made a lot of money this time!"

Lu Cheng smiled.

Then, he looked at the equipment.

Among them, 6 pieces are white equipment of ordinary quality, and only one can be worn by the magic system.

【Beginner's Cloak】

[Quality: ordinary. 】

[Wearing requirements: Spell profession. 】

[Physical resistance +4, magic resistance +5. 】

Lu Cheng was not surprised that it was better than nothing.

This is what low-level white equipment looks like.

Putting on the cloak, Lu Cheng looked at the last blue outfit.

【Deadly Spellcaster】

[Main weapon slot]

[Quality: black iron grade. 】

[Wearing requirements: Spell profession, level 3 or above, strength attribute 5 or above, intelligence attribute 8 or above, mental attribute 10 or above. 】

[Spell attack power +25, intelligence +10, spirit +7, spell range +2. 】

[Special Effect 1: Casting speed increased by 20%. 】

[Special effect 2: Fireball level +1. 】

"Black iron-level equipment can actually increase spell casting speed?"

Lu Cheng was overjoyed and equipped it directly.

This attribute is much better than the rare secret magic ring!

Not to mention anything else, just the special effect 1 increases the casting speed by 20%. This staff is enough for him to use for a long time!
  Bronze equipment may not have this rare special effect!
  Put on two pieces of gear.

Lu Cheng put the other five pieces of equipment directly into the storage space and looked at the final mission scroll.

This is good stuff.

As long as you can complete a bronze-level quest scroll, you can get at least one item of the same level!
  [Bronze Level Mission: Caveman’s Altar]

[Task requirements: Find the caveman altar located underground, and provide at least 10 pieces of rare-level or above equipment and 3 BOSS crystal cores to the altar. 】

[Task time limit: 5 days. 】

[Completion reward: 25000 experience points, 10 free attribute points, 1 skill point, and 5 piece of 1 bronze-level equipment. 】

[Penalty for failure: task ban, never enabled. 】

See the task requirements clearly.

Lu Cheng was surprised.

The stone beetle burrower BOSS was only at the black iron level, but what was revealed was a bronze level mission scroll.

After reading it again, Lu Cheng understood.

The rewards and difficulty of this mission are indeed worthy of Bronze level.

Twenty-five thousand experience points are enough for him to reach level six and a half.

There are also attribute points and skill points, as well as bronze equipment!
  The rewards are generous and the difficulty is really high.

He only has two pieces of equipment above rare level.

As for the BOSS crystal core, it will only explode when the Black Iron BOSS is at least level 5 or above!

Even for him, it would be difficult to complete this task!

"The appearance of the stone beetle burrowers...could it be related to this?"

Lu Cheng couldn't help but think.

He killed the mutated stone beetle and immediately alerted the BOSS.

It's hard to say whether this has anything to do with the secret ring!

If possible, I would still like to do this task.

Although it was difficult, there was no penalty for failure in this task, so he didn't feel any pressure.

10 pieces of rare equipment are exchanged for 1 piece of bronze equipment, crossing two levels. Even if 3 BOSS crystal cores are added, it is still a profit!

Just as I was thinking about it, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, the number of monsters killed in this area meets the conditions, the settlement has been unlocked, number 1024. In the settlement, no monsters will be refreshed. 】

[The location of the settlement has been marked. 】

Listen to system messages.

Lu Cheng's heart moved.

The settlement is unlocked!
  Recalling information about previous settlements.

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

Settlement is extremely important throughout the pre, middle and late stages of the Cataclysm.

In previous lives, if there were no settlements, it would be difficult for humans to gain a foothold in the catastrophic apocalypse!

When a certain number of monsters die in this area, the settlement will be unlocked.

In the early stages of a catastrophe, there are generally around 100,000 people, and the number of monsters killed can unlock a settlement.

The location of the settlement was randomly drawn within the area where these 100,000 people lived.

The area designated as a settlement will not spawn monsters and is equivalent to a safe zone.

Settlement unlocking is a group system message, and people within dozens of miles will receive it.

Naturally, they will also gather towards the safe zone.

However, Lu Cheng knew it.

This so-called safe zone is not that safe, but may be more dangerous than the wild!

Because just because monsters are not refreshed in the settlement, it does not mean that they will not be attacked by monsters.

All settlements, within 24 hours of formation.

There will be a wave of beasts forming, and monsters will besiege the city!

The ones in Beast Tide are not only of high level, but also have powerful attributes.

Only after repelling the first wave of beasts can we truly be safe.

In the 10 days before the disaster, more than 80% of the settlements could not survive this first wave of beasts!

but……

Monster siege is dangerous though.

But if it can be solved, the reward will be extremely generous!

In his previous life, he just mingled with the large army and fought off a monster siege.

For just barely ranking among the top 100 for meritorious deeds, he was rewarded with half a level of experience and a black iron level treasure chest.

If it is a first-class meritorious service, it is unimaginable how many rewards there will be!
  "It seems...the requirements for this bronze-level mission have been met."

Lu Cheng smiled.

The time when the beast tide will strike is uncertain, and the latest is 24 hours.

If you can defend it, you will be rewarded with a lot of equipment.

The monster that leads the beast tide is at least a level 5 Black Iron BOSS, and the BOSS crystal core is also found.

If everything goes well, we can get most of the items required for this bronze-level mission!

He looked up.

A light green beam of light rose into the sky, marking the location of the settlement.
