210 chapter 209-predicting luck

But Zhao Xu didn’t feel guilty at all when he saw this.

Having experienced the underground temple of hell, he understood that he should immediately go back and search for clues when he encountered a problem.

Zhao Xu immediately turned around and ran back. As expected, the place where he had first come down from, the entrance that had no cover at all, was now completely sealed.

he could still see the sunlight outside the window, but it had also disappeared into the darkness.

zhao xu walked up the stairs the same way he had come.

When he first entered the hole, it was already covered by the darkness created by magic. It even extinguished his eternal flame, which he had created with 50 gold coins and a second-circle spell, “inextinguishable flame.

They had to leave the environment shrouded in magic darkness before the torch could regain its light.

zhao xu could only rely on the level 1 spell, eye of ebony, to see through the darkness.

If an ordinary priest cast a second-circle spell like “dark vision,” they would only have the vision of a dark environment, and still wouldn’t be able to see through the magic darkness.

therefore, sometimes, in certain circumstances, low-circle spells were not necessarily weaker than high-circle spells.

when zhao xu reached the top of the stairs, he realized that the entrance he had just come in from had been silently sealed off by a stone door.

There was a sentence engraved on the stone door-

” only strong-willed people who have passed the test can chant the following incantations to open the journey. ”

below the sentence was a password written in the dragon language.

Zhao Xu didn’t rashly start chanting the prayer.

Pass the test?

among the three major immunity of arthur’s characters, they were the ” toughness immunity ” that represented the strength of vitality, the ” will immunity ” that represented the determination of the mind, and the ” reflex immunity ” that represented the agility of the body.

Zhao Xu’s will immunity had a bonus of 6 levels. Of which, 4 levels came from his job and 2 levels came from his sensory adjustment.

This rank 6 bonus, combined with his specific ” performance level, ” was the final result of the check.

the system would convert his ” performance level ” in the exemption test into an evaluation of 1-20 levels.

Therefore, as long as his basic bonus (Level 6) and performance (level 1-20) exceeded the difficulty level of the exemption, he would be able to pass the check.

This meant that he had been defeated by any willpower resistance below level 5, unless the system determined that his performance evaluation was a major failure like ” rank 1.

as for those whose difficulty level was higher than level 26, even if they performed well, he might still be defeated. there was only hope for a comeback if his performance rating was perfect at level 20.

However, Arthur’s performance at Level 1 or 20 did not mean that he would definitely succeed or fail. There was a deeper level of metaphysics involved.

at this moment, zhao xu looked at that sentence and he actually understood what was going on.

When he recited the ‘password’ incantation, he would receive a mental attack.

If he failed in the next round, he would naturally return home.

if he succeeded, the path that had disappeared would appear in front of him.

zhao xu couldn’t help but sigh after he realized this.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator of both the divine and the arcane.

Mages had low reflexes, low tenacity, and high will. For example, his current reflex immunity from the class was only at rank 1.

it was a world of difference from the tier 4 class will immunity of mages.

combined with the fact that zhao xu’s two points in perceptive sensing had given him a tier-2 reward, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was one of the few players in arthur who had the highest resistance to will.

for many control spells, such as the level 9 spell “group monster stop spell,” if ordinary people had no magic resistance, they would basically have to rely on will immunity to resist it.

for example, the spell ‘command: intimidation’ didn’t require willpower to be able to forcefully freeze one’s body.

the problem that zhao xu was facing right now was that when he went through the test later, his will would fluctuate.

There were some things that everyone was already familiar with, such as the “climb” skill, which would allow them to obtain a stable level 10. If they were patient, the system would even give them a level 20 evaluation.

But Zhao Xu’s immunity to will had a lot to do with his physical and mental state at the time, whether he had slept well the night before, and even if he had been injected with chicken blood a moment ago.

Therefore, there were many times when one’s “performance level” of “Level 1 to 20″ was out of control.

however, the bonus of will immunity, which would not change, could be temporarily increased as a base.

that was why zhao xu had used spells to stack up his knowledge (mystery) skill points to a point where it was beyond the players ‘imagination when he was in the prophecy forest.

———————-

at this moment, the invisible mage noticed that the hole had been sealed off by a stone door. he understood that the player who had gone down to the trial had reached the end of the road, and the trial had officially begun.

he shook his head. ” you said that if he finds out that no matter how many will exemption points he stacks for himself, the difficulty will naturally increase by five levels according to his current level. this means that he will always only have a 75% chance of passing. will he feel despair?”

The farmer took out a long pipe from his pocket and put it on his lips. He enjoyed it and took a deep breath, choking.

“This is also to let him know that mages will eventually encounter existences that ignore immunity when they stack their numbers. At that time, he may understand the subtleties of fate, and it will be beneficial for him to learn those spells that can change his luck and perform in various ways in the future.”

“it’s not easy to change one’s luck. how many of those ninth-circle mages haven’t mastered it? Even the priests who have chosen the goddess ‘fate, the top 9-circle divine spell’ choosing fate’, are few in number.” the mage retorted, not even a little bit optimistic that the other party would be able to pass.

“Who can say for sure?” The farmer turned his body slightly so that he could lie down more comfortably on the chair.

however, there was still a hint of envy in his eyes.

Attack, skill, attribute, and immunity-these four checks could all be “performed” twice, and then one of the results would be better. This was a ninth-circle great divine spell, which made many ninth-circle mages drool.

if he could master this spell, he wouldn’t be fooled by fate like this.

———————

Zhao Xu was only separated by a wall, so he didn’t know what was going on outside. He was thinking about how much he had to increase his Level 6 will immunity to ensure that he would be able to pass this test.

The simplest way was naturally to cast a level 2 spell, ” owl’s wisdom, ” which could temporarily increase his perception by 4 points and also give him a 2-point bonus to his will immunity.

the duration of this spell was one minute per level of the spellcaster, and the final duration was about five to six minutes. although it wasn’t long for him, it was enough for a short time.

But before Zhao Xu made his move, he still searched the stone door and tried to find more clues.

having mastered the ” action instinct ” spell, he wasn’t afraid of any sudden problems. after all, he could open up a distance of seven meters at any time.

suddenly, zhao xu’s fingers reached out to the gap between the stone door and the door frame.

after he fumbled around, he found that there were hollow runes carved there.

having mastered arthur’s common language, he naturally pieced them together according to the shape of the characters and formed a sentence-

things didn’t go beyond five.

Zhao Xu immediately pulled his hand back and focused his attention on the mysterious stone door in front of him.

This sentence was a characteristic of that half-plane.

as a result, even the number of players was strictly suppressed to no more than five.

this also meant that the difficulty of the exemption for this password in front of him would always be five levels above his will exemption?

of course, it meant that there was no point in him stacking them up.

However, as long as his performance exceeded Level 5, he would be able to pass smoothly.

Zhao Xu knew very well that the performance of adventurers was divided into levels 1 to 20 based on big data. For example, if an adventurer performed 100 times, the worst five times would be considered Level 1, and the better five times would be considered Level 2.

naturally, his strongest five performances were at level 20.

therefore, the performance bonus points for the first to the 20th steps were evenly distributed.

This meant that if Zhao Xu maintained the same state and recited the spell 20 times, he would fail about five times.

In terms of big data, his passing rate was only 75%.

If there were two people here, both of them would fall into the 25% failure rate range, which was only about 6%.

Only people like Zhao Xu, who had come alone, would be countered.

of course, at the end of the day, it was still possible for him to get a rating of 5-20. Therefore, most of the losers didn’t dare to complain after coming here and then going home.

after all, it wasn’t a dice roll for them to gamble, but a real display of their abilities.

at this moment, zhao xu could only sigh softly as he faced this scene.

However, he had mastered the second-circle spell,”luck foresight,” so he didn’t have to use it to the fullest.

Unlike the 9th-circle spell “choosing fate,” he could choose one of the two future performances every round.

he could only choose the ‘luck foresight’ spell once.

but that was enough.

Zhao Xu immediately took out a die made of gold that cost 20 gold coins and threw it down the stairs. At the same time, he started to chant a spell.

The Golden die instantly turned into a faint golden light and then disappeared.

Then, the power of fate was added to Zhao Xu’s body, and his eyes started to shine with a faint golden light.

Zhao Xu immediately turned around and started chanting the password on the stone door.

then, zhao xu saw two golden afterimages appear in front of him.

They were imitating his future self to cast will immunity!

then, he saw a future version of himself with a failed rank-3 performance evaluation.

The performance rating of his other future self was successful at level 10, which just happened to exceed the upper limit.

Zhao Xu immediately focused his mind and the two afterimages disappeared in an instant. But the afterimage that Zhao Xu had chosen to succeed gave him a feedback of what he felt.

he acted directly according to his feelings.

[ adventurer zhongxia has made a will exemption check. the result is 6 (fixed) +10 (current performance)=16. difficulty level exceeded 11. exemption passed. ]

A loud rumbling sound came from behind Zhao Xu.

He looked back and saw that at the end of the dark road below, a door that had not existed before had slowly emerged, and light was shining from inside.

The road was back.
