Chapter 632: Chapter 198: The Wife Goes First! Next, Joining Burials Can Be Very Useful!_3

But soon, Wang Laoju no longer suffered.

Not only did he not suffer, he even began to smile.

Because he discovered that after sitting at the Blessing Spot up ahead in the level,

a beautiful girl appeared!

It was the same girl from the game’s opening CG, riding on a donkey and speaking with an exceptionally soft voice.

Her face hadn’t been revealed until the beginning.

Only now did he catch a glimpse of her true face.

He saw her slowly walk forward while Tui was sitting by the fire resting, crouch in front of him, and with a hand, she removed the hood that had obscured her face.

A mass of light reddish-brown curls draped over her shoulders, her delicate and lovely face almost irresistibly inviting a kiss.

Although her beauty was slightly marred by the fact that her left eye seemed blind, tightly closed, and marked with strange patterns,

the beautiful and sweet modeling made even the one-eyed girl appear incredibly alluring.

The live chat was stunned at this moment, with a screen full of "Wife!" and "Hello, joint burial" crazily scrolling by.

Soon, he engaged in conversation with her.

The girl introduced herself as Melina.

She wanted to propose a trade with the Fading One who the player was controlling.

Tui, having lost the guidance of the Finger Witch, was unable to level up at the Blessing Spot.

Meanwhile, Melina expressed her willingness to act as the Finger Witch for Tui, guiding him to enhance his strength on the journey they would share.

In exchange, Tui had to take Melina to the Golden Tree at the foot of King City Rodel.

Travel with a beautiful girl?

Was there even a need to think about it? He agreed without hesitation!

After signing the contract, Melina also gave the player a Spirit Whistle Ring.

She said as long as he wore it, he could summon the Spirit Horse Tortoit at any time.

Moreover, she helped the player unlock the level-up panel.

As long as there were enough Runes, he could enhance his attributes at the nearest Blessing Spot.

After sending off this beautiful girl, Wang Laoju opened the level-up panel and pondered over where to allocate his attribute points.

There are eight main categories of attributes in "Elden": health, focus, stamina, strength, dexterity, intelligence, faith, and sensing.

Health goes without saying.

Improving focus will increase the blue bar, and stamina will increase the energy bar.

The more energy you have, the more attacks you can withstand with a shield, and likewise, the more you can roll.

If the energy bar is increased by a few levels, even enduring a Big Tree Guardian’s strike without breaking the shield is possible.

Enhancements to both strength and dexterity can increase attack power, as well as various attribute resistances.

Intelligence and faith both increase magic damage, albeit in different ways.

And lastly, sensing increases the drop rate of monsters.

After figuring these out, Wang Laoju sneakily returned to his previous death spot.

He picked up his Runes and ran towards the Blessing, hastily sitting down to refresh the scene.

After killing some soldiers along the way, and since the Runes needed for early upgrades were not much,

a thousand Runes were enough to level up twice.

After some thought, Lao Ju decided to put both points into health.

"Elden" allows players to preview the panel after upgrading.

After comparing various attributes side by side,

Wang Laoju thought that compared to the sporadic increase in attack power or energy bar,

putting two levels into health could add a full 40 points of health.

The Fading One’s initial health was only just over four hundred points.

A 10% increase was still quite noticeable.

Sometimes being able to take one more hit could provide the chance to use a Blood Bottle, and the ultimate outcome could be very different.

Soon, after finishing allocating the attribute points,

he rose from the Blessing Spot and glanced over his health bar.

It was visibly thicker than it had been before.

"Great, this time I’ll bloody the entire camp!" Feeling much stronger, Wang Laoju brandished his sword and charged toward the camp.

Half a minute later.

He was joyfully "sent" back by a group of soldiers after just a few strikes.

Not enough.

The added 10% of health simply wasn’t enough!

Once he rushed in, the only outcome was being beaten to death.

But this death was not without meaning.

Wang Laoju faintly felt he was beginning to grasp the right way to approach this game.

He had set aside fighting the Big Tree Guardian for now since it was a 1v1 duel,

so he hadn’t quite noticed anything strange back then.

But now, struggling against a mob of common enemies,

Wang Laoju finally realized that although the game was tagged with the ACT label,

it had very different characteristics from traditional ACT games!

Not just in terms of the BOSSes.

Even the common enemies, who would normally be easily chopped up by players in other ACT games at the start, were rather challenging in "Elden."

It didn’t take much.

Just two or three rushing at once could cause the player great distress.

If players took these soldiers, who seemed like they could be killed in two or three strikes, too lightly,

they would get nothing but repeated deaths and a gradually shattering morale.

But if,

"If we saw all of them as BOSSes, how would we choose?"

"The answer is, to take them down one by one!"

Only then did Wang Laoju realize the counsel he had seen before was not some prank by a malicious person.

On the contrary, it was valuable advice left by a player who had already learned through tough experiences!

Next, a stealthy approach would be very useful!

Wang Laoju felt he was gradually finding the right way to play the game.

But at this moment, many viewers in the live broadcast felt that what Lao Ju said was a bit exaggerated.

"No way... this is just the first group of mobs in the first level, treating them with the mindset of fighting a BOSS? And even going so far as to kill them one by one... how long would this game take to finish?"
