Global Mining.

Dachun came to the dock, which was actually an old cargo ship locked in the lock pool.

When he got into the water, he felt a flowing and smooth feeling, just like the smoothness of a top-level graphics card.

Although Dachun had not practiced swimming during the public beta, he had seen the Internet cafe masters who went into the water to catch seashells. The feeling of blockage was uncomfortable to watch, which was the huge difference in equipment. Of course, goggles are also important. The setting of this game is too real. If you go into the sea for a long time with your naked eyes, your eyes will turn red, your vision will decrease, and you may even go blind.

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully triggered the "swimming" skill training. When your proficiency accumulates to a certain level, you will understand the "primary swimming" skill.

Trigger!

The game has a very high degree of freedom, and there is a setting for self-learning skills. The skills are roughly divided into five types: daily life skills, professional production skills, professional combat skills, folk skills, and academic skills.

Daily life skills are: running, swimming, cooking, climbing, weightlifting, fishing, throwing, etc. These skills are the easiest to understand by yourself.

Professional production skills are: mining, gathering, skinning, tailoring, alchemy, forging, gem processing, and even raising chickens, pigs, and flowers. The flowers in the flower shop are flower-raising skills.

Professional combat skills are skills that can only be obtained by working in a profession. It is difficult to comprehend by yourself, so you should honestly find a skill instructor to learn. The Knight Physician profession also has divine skills. It is useless to find a mentor to learn. You have to renew after a period of time.

Folk skills are all kinds of strange skills that some NPCs can have. The types are very complicated, including various talents and proficiency. Usually, they cannot be upgraded. Players need a certain opportunity to learn them.

Academic skills are all kinds of laws, archaeology, astrology, art, etc. You can only spend money to go to the school library without any possibility of comprehension. This is no longer the scope of player entertainment, but after learning, you can work in NPC institutions and get a fixed salary.

The major main cities will also hold various cooking, fishing, and track and field sports competitions from time to time. Generally, only experts and above are eligible to participate in the participation award. Once you get the top three, the reward is as high as winning the lottery. Therefore, there are also a large number of players who focus on skill comprehension during the public beta.

Because there is a competition for skills, the gap in skill levels is also very obvious. Skills are divided into six levels: elementary, intermediate, advanced, expert, master, and grandmaster. Each level is divided into 10 levels. Every level of life and production skills is increased by 1 level, and additional physical strength and weight are awarded. Combat skills also reward life, dodge rate, hit rate, critical hit rate, and anti-crit rate.

That is to say, if a player is hardworking enough and practices all the currently known daily production skills to the high level that can be achieved normally, then there will be more than 1,000 points of physical strength and weight. The most important attribute in this world is actually physical strength. It is not only useful for mining, but also necessary for team battles. What if a rookie is invulnerable to swords and guns in a set of divine clothes? If he is pushed and shoved by others and has no physical strength, he is still nothing.

As for 1,000 points of weight, one person can push a fully loaded mine cart into the air. Not to mention that some artifacts such as "Sword in the Stone" cannot be lifted without a weight of thousands...

...

What should come soon came:

-System prompt: Congratulations! You have accumulated a lot of proficiency and successfully mastered the "elementary swimming" skill level 1. You get the achievement reward: physical strength +1, weight +1.

After officially learning to swim, there is a faint circle of skill special effects around Dachun. The dynamics in the water are obviously more stable, the breath holding time is longer, and it is easier to dig shells. At the same time, the swimming proficiency is soaring!

Dachun remembered that the Internet cafe master said that calm water surface can only be practiced to elementary level 10 at most. To break through to the intermediate level, you must find a rapid upstream. To break through to the advanced level, you must be in the sea with more complex waves and whirlpools. And you can't "jump to the next level". A beginner swimmer who jumps directly into the whirlpool sea is all wrong movements and it is impossible to comprehend it.

The weight reduction stunt of this diving suit obviously breaks through the "calm water surface" limit and will definitely reach the intermediate level.

After 10 minutes, elementary swimming level 2, physical strength +1, weight +1!

Another 8 minutes and 40 seconds passed, swimming level 3, physical strength +1, weight +1!

…

Almost two hours, elementary swimming level 10, obtained 10 points of physical strength, 10 points of weight, the speed of this skill upgrade might scare the Internet cafe master!

So far, Dachun is as agile as a fish in water, but his swimming proficiency has hardly increased!

Dachun was stunned. He couldn't break through even with the equipment? How is this game calculated? Although it is a bit unreliable to think about the marginal effect of the decreasing function in a game where damage is directly equal to "attack-defense", encountering this situation can only mean that the "negative reduction" is not fierce enough.

How else can negative reduction be achieved?

Dachun focused on the hunger level. It's almost almost two hours of such high-intensity work! Finally:

——System prompt: Warning! Your hunger level has reached 50, and your various attributes have begun to decline. Please eat in time.

Here it comes! The Internet cafe master said: When the attributes decrease due to hunger, the movements will be deformed, causing various mining combat skills to fail, but there is a small chance of skill breakthrough! That is to say, "When people are extremely hungry and tired, the movements of their limbs are the most labor-saving, natural and closest to the secret..." This is the breakthrough method of "hunger flow" and "dying flow" circulating on the Internet.

As a result, after a while of struggling, the proficiency still did not increase. Was it because I was not hungry enough? But then the movements were greatly deformed and failed - huh?

Dachun suddenly remembered something. Swimming has many styles. Backstroke, butterfly stroke, and breaststroke all have their own characteristics. This game uses the default "freestyle". Is the key to break through this default and change the posture?

Then backstroke! The most labor-saving and most suitable for calm water.

Just do it when you think of it, but it is not that easy. Dachun is not a professional swimmer. He simply dives into the bottom of the boat. That is because people have to lie flat under the boat. This is how they can barely achieve a backstroke, and it does not delay lying flat to dig shells.

Then it is to wait for the master's strategy to work. This reminds Dachun of a famous saying, "The biggest secret of the atomic bomb is that it can be made." If it really doesn't work, go to the sea water outside the dock to take a dip in the intermediate level?

While thinking about it in a daze:

-System prompt: Your swimming proficiency +5 points!

Dachun was overjoyed. He suddenly became more proficient, and he added 5 points at a time. Is it because he has mastered the standard backstroke posture?

Dachun immediately maintained this posture, but after adding proficiency several times, he suddenly stopped adding. At this point, Dachun also felt that his posture was obviously deformed, which was a failure.

Check the current hunger level: 67!

Got it, it means that in the hunger level range of 65-66, the deformation of the action just meets the requirements of backstroke, so it is crazy to increase the proficiency, but it will not work if it is hungry beyond this value.

So the current goal is to eat something to restore the hunger level to the range of 65-66! You can go to the restaurant to eat the free meal for newcomers, but that will directly clear the hunger level in one breath, which is not suitable.

Dachun set his eyes on these shells!

These shells on modern ships are of course not edible, because they absorb the heavy metal paint on the bottom of the ship, which is toxic, but this is a wooden ship without toxicity. More importantly, these are all free ingredients that can be found everywhere!

So you have to learn about cooking as well! But cooking requires cooking utensils, so I had to try to borrow them from the old man.

Dachun climbed ashore and dragged his slow body back to the old man's dormitory. At this time, the old man was lying on the rope net hammock holding an empty bottle, snoring like thunder, with frost and fire coming out of one nostril.

Damn, the special effects of this wine...

The key is that the old man said that he was not allowed to wake him up, and he could only change the hoe. What about borrowing cooking utensils?

Dachun went to the corner where the flies were flying and saw that there were stoves, coal, spatulas, oil, salt, seasoning bottles, garlic, onions, and peppers. Then don't worry about it, just borrow them all.

-System prompt: Warning! You used the property of the old drunkard without permission, and your friendship level has been reduced!

Damn, just reduce it, and buy wine to make up for it later.

Dachun returned to the dock, set up the cooking utensils on the shore, lit a fire to boil water, and then went into the water to pick up a bunch of smooth and closed shells, put salt and boiled them. This is fresh live shells, and this is common sense for foodies.

-System prompt: You have successfully triggered the "cooking" skill training. When the proficiency accumulates to a certain level, you will understand the "primary cooking" skill.

Here it comes!

It can be said that cooking is the easiest life skill to learn. Basically, you can learn it by lighting a fire and cooking. But it is said to be quite difficult to practice it well and develop a best-selling recipe.

Dachun does not have high requirements, as long as it can be eaten without poisoning.

A pot of water boils, and the shells open their mouths.

——System prompt: Have you completed the current cooking?

This is just the first step, no!

Take out the shells, pour out the turbid water, fry them in the pot, smash the garlic, onion and pepper, and stir-fry them. Stir-fry a pot of red chili oil and a green and red glowing smoke.

The game cannot simulate the smell, so it uses color to represent the smell. This pleasing color makes people salivate at first sight. At this time, put the previously cooked shells into the pot.

This is not a high requirement, just a home-cooked fried shell, so the cooking is completed.

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully cooked a dish, and after eating it, you can restore hunger and physical consumption. You have successfully developed a new recipe "Fried Shells with Shark Oil". You have obtained the achievement "Recipe Master" reputation +100, and you have successfully mastered the primary cooking skill level 1, physical strength +1, and weight +1.

——System prompt: The recipe can be transferred to others and the technology can be shared. The higher the level of cooking skills, the better the edible effect of the dish. The higher the reputation of the recipe master, the more likely the recipe will become a famous dish with commercial value.

…

You mastered the recipe right away? Shark oil?

Dachun checked the recipe formula and it was really shark oil! That is the oil used to apply shark skin diving suits! This oil seems to be very high-end? So…so you have to live up to this start!

Then keep an eye on the hunger and eat. After eating a few shells, the hunger is restored to 65 points. Then stop and go into the water to practice.

Sure enough, the swimming proficiency is back! The theory is correct and stable.

When he was hungry to 67 points, Dachun went ashore to eat shells again, over and over again for more than ten times. Finally:

--System prompt: Congratulations! You have accumulated a lot of proficiency and successfully mastered the intermediate swimming skill level 1. Your speed in the water has been greatly improved. Achievements: Stamina +1, Weight +1.

--System prompt: Congratulations! You have mastered the elementary "Fancy Swimming" level 1. The resistance you encounter in the water has been reduced to a certain extent. Achievements: Stamina +1, Weight +1.

...

Fuck!

Although I knew I had to break through, it turned out to be a double-hit! Although it is not the backstroke as imagined, fancy swimming is indeed more accurate. This skill can also reduce resistance, which is a perfect match with a diving suit! And fancy swimming is a competition event, you can get a participation award.

Dachun felt that he was swimming gracefully and freely on the bottom of the boat. His speed was more than half as fast as before, and his proficiency in fancy swimming began to soar!

Now I am much more flexible in the water than on the ground. The next step is to understand underwater mining, right?

Then step up...

4am.

Dachun was completely selfless, and his intermediate swimming skills slowly improved to level 2, but his beginner fancy swimming skills had reached level 10. Then, as a large piece of shell was smashed to pieces, what was supposed to come finally came:

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have accumulated a lot of proficiency and successfully mastered the basic "Underwater Mining Technique" level 1. Your speed and success rate of mining in water have been improved. Achievements obtained: Stamina +1, Weight +1.

——System prompt: You have successfully resisted the corrosion of acid water.

Done! Underwater mining, a well-hidden skill! It turns out that digging out a piece can trigger the acidic water. Fortunately, I have a wetsuit.

After formally understanding mining, the feeling of hand hoeing is completely different. The feeling of crunching and collapsing shells is so relaxing! After a while, the entire bottom of the ship was as new as a shelled egg, and at the same time, the entire dock pond became sour and turbid.

——System prompt: Congratulations! You successfully completed the scavenger career assessment task. Please go to Old Drunkard to hand over the task.

After it was completed, Dachun came ashore happily, and then he remembered that the uncle was drunk and fell asleep!

Damn it, when will Zhan Zhan wake up? I can't wait any longer, right?

Dachun looked at the sea outside the dock. Swimming suits are not a thing in the pool. Now that I am an intermediate swimmer, I can barely go into the sea. How about going to the advanced level?

Um? Dachun found a row of small wooden boats as big as lifeboats parked on the shore. These were...

When Dachun came up and took a look, he saw that they were all dilapidated and old, and he didn't know whether they could not be sold or repaired. Dachun pushed, and the boat slowly slid down the beach.

Can go into the water!

Dachun was instantly excited! Ordinary newcomers start out by working on merchant and fishing boats as porters and do odd jobs, and have no chance to sail alone. It will only be a few days later when they buy a small boat and start their own business. Now that you have the opportunity to use a small boat, of course you have to go out to sea and learn the "skills of sailing"! By the way, hang a fishing rod on the boat and practice your "fishing skills". Fishing comes with an idle mode. There are a lot of fishing rods in the uncle's warehouse!

Internet cafe masters have said that fish in the sea especially like large floating objects and will gather around the boat, so there is no need to worry about catching fish, so this fishing technique is actually a waste of time.

At this moment, the bow of the ship entered the water, and Dachun's eyes flashed with red light: - System prompt: Warning! If you misappropriate shipyard goods without permission, you will bear direct consequences if caught by witness inquiries.

Damn it!

Dachun hurriedly stepped back and looked around. There were several card-playing workers in the dock in the distance. Fortunately, there wasn't much movement and it didn't disturb them.

Dachun looked up at the sky. According to the game time, it was almost dark and it was time to get off work. Then, wait for them to get off work and practice at night! As a newbie, it’s impossible to really row the boat very far, so what if you can safely row nearby and fish for one night?

Although he had decided, looking at these old and unreliable boats, Dachun was in a dilemma, which one to choose? If it really sinks, I'm afraid I can't afford the consequences...
