Pirate Journalist

Chapter 5
Five days passed in a flash.

For Murphy, life during this period was simple and fulfilling.

It's just facing the sea, holding a pen and ink.

Eat some dry food when you are hungry, run around and do some exercise when you are tired.

Newsbird is almost everywhere on the great route, no matter where he is, it will not affect his submission. After a period of experimentation, Murphy also confirmed the previous guess.

The popularity of the article determines the points obtained.

When his second manuscript was accepted, a new option appeared in the system menu.

【statistics】.

It records the benefits brought by each manuscript in detail, and even draws different types of statistical charts.

For example, the first article published by Murphy has brought a total of 310 points so far.

These points mainly come from the first to two days after the publication of the article. From the third day onwards, the data of this article shows a precipitous decline, basically no longer brings benefits, and has a strong timeliness.

The most popular area of ​​this article is Beihai, and the people who follow it are generally men. The second most popular area is the first half of the great route. As for the East China Sea, West Sea, South China Sea and New World, people obviously have no interest in this story. Bringing next to nothing.

These data helped Murphy grasp the direction of the manuscript, and at the same time let him intuitively understand the way the system's points increase.

As more manuscripts were accepted, Murphy's points began to show a steady increase.

And now, the points reached 1000 points for the first time.

He turned on [Body Strengthening] with anticipation, ready to experience what it would be like to add 100 points of strength in one breath.

[Do you want to spend 450 points to exchange for 45 point of power? 】

Huh?Why can't you increase your strength by 100 points in one go?
Murphy looked at the dialog box that popped up and had a bad feeling.

Let's add it first!

【Yes】.

On the panel, his strength changed from 5 to 50.

At the same time, a feeling of fullness filled the whole body, and the muscles felt like an explosion, as if every cell was jumping and beating.

At this moment, Murphy felt that even if it was a boulder in the distance, he could easily lift it.

He felt this power silently, and then suppressed the urge to try it immediately.

He still has 550 points left, and after adding all the power, he will try again.

However, the dialog box that popped up again confirmed Murphy's previous ominous premonition.

[Do you want to spend 500 points to exchange for 5 point of power? 】

He looked at the price that had suddenly increased by 10 times, showing a helpless expression.

Sure enough, before, I felt that physical enhancement was too cheap compared to exchange.

If you have 10000 points to strengthen your body, you can exchange for 1000 attribute points, maybe you can blow up everything.

However, the same 10000 points in the redemption list is only equivalent to the value of one eight punch punch, and this gap is still very large.

Now Murphy understood that it wasn't that body strengthening was cheap, but that its big crater was left behind at all, and there might be a giant crater after the big crater.

After the strength reaches 100 or 500, will the required points change again?

"Wait until then, shouldn't it be 10 times again!?"

Murphy stroked his wrinkled forehead. It was a little hard to imagine the sky-high points that might be needed in the future.

That being the case, use the existing points on several other basic values!
He once added 7 points to agility, which became 12 points, but did not point to physical strength, which has always been 5 points.

Then come one by one!
[Do you want to spend 380 points to exchange for 38 points of agility? 】

【Yes】.

[Do you want to spend 170 points to exchange for 17 points of stamina? 】

【Yes】.

The points have been increasing all the time, so there is nothing left and all of them are used up.

In this way, the agility has reached the maximum of 50 points at this stage, while the physical strength is 22 points, and the spirit has not moved, it is still 13 points.

"Finally out of the ranks of the Five Scums!"

From the outside, Murphy is still very thin, wearing thin clothes, as if he could fall down when blowing.

But before the clothes were skinny and bony, but now, they are well-proportioned muscles.

He squeezed his fist hard, feeling the changes in his body, and he was very excited.

This is the first step in becoming stronger, and in the future, he will become stronger and stronger.

He walked directly to a large boulder, grabbed it with both hands, and lifted the boulder that he had never imagined before.

Immediately after he exerted all his strength, he threw the big rock into the air, rolled a few times on the ground, splashed dust all over the sky, and then stopped slowly.

Then, Murphy sprinted fiercely and came to the side of the boulder extremely quickly. He clenched his fist and struck out vigorously. With the violent fist wind and a bang, the stone flew out again.

This time the stone flew farther, and there was still a fist mark and several cracks on it.

Only this time, Murphy frowned tightly. Instead of looking at the result of the blow, he lowered his head to look at his fist.

His right hand was torn apart, bleeding profusely, and bursts of pain continued to come.

"You were actually injured, is it because your physical attributes haven't kept up?"

This is already hurting one thousand enemies and eight hundred, which is definitely not the effect Murphy wants to achieve.

He opened the panel and stared at the data on it.

The strength and agility are more than double that of physical strength, and even nearly four times that of mental strength.

Such data, combined with the current situation, gave Murphy a little insight.

The physical strength did not keep up, which directly caused the strength to far exceed his own endurance, and he hurt himself before hurting the enemy.

However, his spirit didn't keep up, so he didn't judge or feel that punching would hurt him. This small judgment can be the difference between life and death in the battle situation.

It seems that the balance between the various attribute points is also very important. Only when there are no shortcomings, can the greatest strength be exerted.

"Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and it will not affect my continued writing."

The wound looked scary, but it wasn't serious. Murphy simply bandaged the wound before continuing to write the manuscript.

"Wherever there are leaves flying, fire will burn..."

This time, instead of writing a short story, he wrote a novel, a story about Konoha, and he also used a pseudonym, the name of the Sage of the Six Paths - Yu Yi.

The appetites of the two worlds are very different. He has submitted a lot of manuscripts, but the pass rate is not high. In addition, they are all short stories, which bring little later profit. He is very dissatisfied with this situation.

He recalled a little bit, people in this world seem to have a soft spot for ninjas, although he can't draw, but it seems good to show Konoha's story through words.

He doesn't have the ability to remember the original work completely, so he doesn't expect the novel to be very popular. These are just transitional means. What he really aims at is the news that will shake the world.

Ten days passed quickly, and it turned out that Murphy was right.

The story of the ninja really suits the appetite of this world. Whether it is the four seas or the great route, everyone is enthusiastic about it.

In ten days, a total of 3000 points were credited.

Murphy spent 650 points to fill up the attribute points in the first stage.

He named the stage below 50 attribute points as the first stage, and before the points changed again, it was the second stage, and so on.

After adding attribute points, he set his sights on other enhancements.

[Long Range Attack] and [General Enhancement] were temporarily unusable for him, so he directly exchanged for [Melee Combat] Elementary, a total of 1000 points.

Murphy originally wanted to continue exchanging [Close Combat], but unfortunately it takes 10000 points to upgrade from beginner to intermediate, which is not something he can consider now.

After repeated checks, he found that the remaining 1000 points could not play a decisive role, so he simply kept them as a precaution.

The current Murphy has a brand new look. Although the panel still looks very simple, it is much better than at the beginning.
