Chapter 004: Upgrading Basic Archery!
After killing the big-eared rabbit, Su Yu immediately strode forward and arrived at its corpse.
"Sigh, this is really tough. After defeating the monsters, I still have to come back to collect these beginner arrows." Su Yu muttered to himself as he collected the beginner arrows.
"Next time, let's try mana arrows. Although they consume some mana, they can save time in collecting beginner arrows."
Su Yu turned his gaze to his skill bar, where he now had four skills.
Three of them are the initial skills that the archer class comes with.
Another one is his recently unlocked bronze-level passive skill, "Powerful Arrow".
[Level 1 Basic Archery (Normal): Passive skill, attack speed +5%, movement speed +5%.]
[Level 1 Mana Arrow (Common): Active skill. Conjures a mana arrow, increasing physical attack by 1. Costs 1 mana. No cooldown.]
【lv1 Soul-Severing Arrow (Normal): Active skill, fires a powerful arrow, dealing damage equal to 20 + physical attack power * 120% to the target, consumes 10 mana, cooldown 5 seconds.】
"Level 1 Mana Arrow, like Beginner Arrow, can increase physical attack power by 1 point. This initial skill is quite useful," Su Yu thought to himself.
Su Yu currently only has one hundred beginner arrows.
Although the items can be retrieved after each battle, there will always be some loss.
Moreover, facing a large number of monsters, Su Yu had no chance to retrieve the arrows he had shot.
This is where the advantage of mana arrows becomes apparent. As long as Su Yu has mana, he doesn't have to worry about running out of arrows.
"Finally, I can experience what it feels like to level up my skills."
Su Yu looked at the extra skill point on his attribute panel and felt a little eager to try it out.
Upgrading a common skill from level 1 to level 2 requires 100 skill proficiency points, an iron-level skill requires 200 points, and a bronze-level skill requires 300 points...
100 skill proficiency points are equivalent to 1 skill point.
In other words, one skill point can upgrade a normal skill from level 1 to level 2.
"Let's upgrade our basic archery skills first," Su Yu quickly decided.
In Su Yu's opinion, he should prioritize upgrading his passive skills in the early stages.
For active skills, although the higher the skill level, the higher the damage, the more mana is consumed each time the skill is used.
Su Yu currently only has 180 mana points, and he doesn't have any equipment that increases mana regeneration speed.
Even with low-cost skills like Mana Arrow, once the skill level is high, Su Yu's mana reserves can't keep up with the drain.
Basic archery is a passive skill that requires no cost.
At the same time, basic archery can also increase Su Yu's attack speed and movement speed, which will be of great help to him in finding and killing monsters.
[You have used 1 skill points to increase your basic archery level. Current level: 2!]
[Level 2 Basic Archery (Common): Passive skill, Attack Speed +5%, Movement Speed +5%, Attack Range +5%.]
"Hmm? It turns out there's a new attribute that increases attack range." Su Yu was pleasantly surprised.
Su Yu originally thought that upgrading the basic archery skill from level 1 to level 2 would only increase attack speed and movement speed.
To his utter surprise, the attack speed and movement speed attributes remained unchanged; instead, a new attribute was added.
Moreover, it also has an attribute that increases attack range by 5%.
It's important to understand that for archers, the greater their attack range, the stronger their deterrent effect.
It also makes it easier to defeat monsters without taking damage.
"Not bad, not bad, keep leveling up!" Su Yu continued to advance deeper into the Gale Plains.
Soon, the figures of two big-eared rabbits came into Su Yu's sight.
Su Yu immediately steadied himself, and as he took out his novice longbow, a blue magic arrow quietly formed on the string.
call out!
The next instant, the blue magic arrow transformed into a streak of light and shot away.
-52! (Weakness attack)
The magic arrow struck the big-eared rabbit precisely in the eye.
"Squeak!" After being attacked, the two big-eared rabbits immediately rushed towards Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at the scene before him without any emotional reaction.
call out!
Another magical arrow shot through the air.
-52! (Weakness attack)
Still using precise attacks on weaknesses, Su Yu finally unleashed his superb archery skills.
Successfully defeated a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit (Normal), gaining 10 experience points and 1 skill point.
shhhhhh!
-26!
-52! (Weakness attack)
-26!
Successfully defeated a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit (Normal), gaining 10 experience points and 1 skill point.
In less than five seconds, Su Yu fired a total of five arrows, three of which were aimed at weak points.
These two big-eared rabbits didn't even touch Su Yu's clothes before they were both killed.
"Continue to upgrade your basic archery skills."
Su Yu had already realized the importance of basic archery techniques for archers.
Although Basic Archery is just a basic passive skill, the attributes it increases are all attributes that archers desperately need.
For archers, attack speed, movement speed, and attack range are three attributes that are always desirable, no matter how many you have.
Attack speed can greatly increase an archer's output per unit time, also known as damage per second.
As for movement speed and attack range, these are the core attributes for archers to kite enemies.
If the movement speed is fast enough and the attack range is long enough, the enemy will not even be able to touch the archer's clothes until they die.
[You have used 2 skill points to increase your basic archery level. Current level: 3!]
[Level 3 Basic Archery (Common): Passive skill, Attack Speed +10%, Movement Speed +10%, Attack Range +5%.]
"Although the attack range hasn't increased, both attack speed and movement speed have doubled." Su Yu nodded.
After upgrading his skills, Su Yu did not hesitate and continued to walk deeper into the Gale Plains.
Along the way, Su Yu killed any big-eared rabbits he saw, not letting any skill points go to waste.
[Successfully defeated a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit (Normal), gaining 10 experience points, 5 copper coins, and 1 skill point.]
Successfully defeated a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit (Normal), gaining 10 experience points and 1 skill point.
……
System notifications rang in Su Yu's mind, and his experience points and skill points continued to climb.
However, whenever Su Yu has enough skill points to upgrade the basic archery technique, he will decisively choose to upgrade the level of the basic archery technique.
After all, the higher the level of basic archery, the more efficient he will be at killing monsters.
