Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 641 Daily life
In the box, Xin Lailai looked at the team interface in front of him and knew that the most critical moment of this meeting had arrived.

"For the three team skill slots, first exclude the instant buffs that require the captain to be present to take effect. Is that ok?"

Xin Lailai looked at Yamu and the deceased and spoke.

Squad skills are different from cult skills. Most cult skills can be enjoyed directly as long as you become a formal member of the cult, while most team skills require the captain to be in the same world or even the same area as the cult to get the bonus.

Normally speaking, this is actually nothing. After all, the contractors who can form a team are basically defaulted to developing in the same world, and even the rank assessment is to participate in the corresponding team rank assessment in the paradise, so there is no need to worry about anyone not getting skill bonuses or something.

But it was different for them as pioneers. Their identity as pioneers and the single-player limitation of the Trial of Transcendence meant that they would only have one or two chances to form a team at each stage. In this case, Xin Lailai naturally could not choose those team skills that could only be triggered when he, the captain, was present.

As for transplanting the religious skills of the Lailai Cult? This was not an option that Xin Lailai would consider at all.

As an SSS-level cult of the strongest rank, the rank of the Lailai Cult's team skills is too different from the rank of their squad, so even if it is transplanted, it will basically be weakened to a horrible level. For example, the additional 50% attribute points obtained when obtaining an S+ rating may become 20%, and the highest effective world rank will also be reduced to a derivative world or a third-level native world.

"Personally, I prefer to choose attribute growth skills that can provide permanent special attribute gains and skills that can expand the team's storage space. What about you?"

Xin Lailai spoke up and expressed his own preference.

For them, if all the fancy temporary buffs are excluded, the only options left are permanent attribute bonus skills that can increase health points, physical defense... and expanding the team's storage space, which are more useful to them.

"Well, I personally don't object to this kind of equal approach. However, since we have three team skill slots, it's not a bad idea to leave one empty for the stronger team members to gain benefits, right?"

Yamu drank a sip of tea made from the leaves of the elemental fruit tree he brought with him, looked at the two people in front of him, and suggested, while his eyes stayed on Xin Lailai.

When Xin Lailai heard this suggestion, he was slightly startled. He moved his eyes and looked at Yamu deeply. Then he looked at the person who was holding the death row opposite Yamu and said:

"If both of you have no objection, then you can indeed consider doing so."

The reason why he gave up those team skills that required the presence of the captain to take effect was not because he was worried that Yamu or the Death Master would be dissatisfied with him because of such things. The main reason was that as the captain, he had to make enough statements in this regard and give priority to plans that could bring equal benefits to everyone.

Therefore, if Yamu and the Death Bearer both support choosing a temporary enhancement-type team skill that is obviously more beneficial to him as the captain, Xin Lailai will never deliberately shirk anything, but will simply accept the benefit generously, and then do his best to repay the favor in other places.

"no problem."

After the cold words fell, the man holding the dead nodded slightly, agreeing to Yamu's proposal with an indifferent expression.

"Okay, in that case, the first skill slot will be given priority to those with more powerful buffs. These buffs can usually be divided into four categories: survival, damage, exploration, and auxiliary buffs. I prefer survival and auxiliary buffs. What about you?"

"Survive."

"Well~ Survival and support? If our lineup is really lacking in damage, this thing probably can't make up for it. It's better to have more life-saving methods."

"Okay, then I'll start drawing directly."

[Hint: Yes/No to draw "Random Squad Skills", this skill has been selected in the range of "Combat Type·Survival Enhancement Direction", and the ability level must be A-~S+ level]

[Hint: Confirmation completed, start drawing...]

[Extraction successful! 】

[Hint: You have obtained the S+ level team skill card: "Immortal Aura"]

……

……

An hour later, at the Lailai Cult training ground.

"Huh...finally it's done."

On the silver-white training ground, Xin Lailai looked at the messy training ground in front of him, rubbed his temples slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief as if he was liberated.

"Tsk, isn't that guy the Death Keeper a little too warlike?"

Xin Lailai glanced at the black cuts of varying sizes on the training ground and complained in her mind with a headache.

According to the original process, they would have finished the job after selecting the team skills and conducting the tests. However, the Death Master attacked them without hesitation as soon as the test was completed. If it weren't for the fact that Fab seemed to have completed the baptism, he would probably still be forced to compete with the opponent.

——After two team formations, Xin Lailai roughly figured out that among the three people in the Guixu team, although the Death Bearer was the most indifferent on the surface, he was much more warlike than him and Yamu in his heart.

If he seeks someone to spar with in order to prove his own strength or some newly developed abilities and moves, and Yamu seeks someone to spar with in order to vent the emotions accumulated in his heart, then the Death Holder seeks someone to spar with purely because the other party desires and enjoys the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death.

"Forget it, at least the team's work is done."

After a short pause, Xin Lailai shook his head, glanced at the team interface at the edge of his vision, breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of heat flashed across his eyes.

……

【Guixu Team】

Team Rating: SSS
Team rank: Tier 3

...

…Team Skill 1, Eternal Aura (Active/Passive, LV.1): In passive mode, when a team member is within 1000m of the captain, they will gain the "Eternal Aura" buff effect, increasing their health by 100 points, their body defense by 10 points, and their movement speed by 10 points. When active, "Life Distribution" will be performed once per second, deducting 1 health points from the unit with the highest health value in the team and restoring 100 health points to the unit with the lowest health value in the team.

Squad Skill 2, Extreme Expansion (Passive, LV.1): The squad space increases by an additional 10 cubic meters.

Team Skill 3, Abyss Adaptation (Passive, LV.1): Every time a team member is affected by an abyss erosion effect, the abyss resistance will be permanently increased. The current increase limit is 1 point.

*Tip: Current team experience: 0/1000 (every 1000 experience points can be used to increase team skill level)
……

This was the final solution they came up with after a half-hour discussion.

An aura skill that enhances team survival, an expansion skill that increases team storage space, and a skill that can permanently increase abyss resistance.

There's actually not much to say about the first two. "Immortal Aura" is an extremely standard and powerful tank-type team ability. When the skill level is raised, it can not only significantly improve their tankiness attributes, but also gain a "life distribution" effect that can be called a perpetual motion machine for blood volume, greatly increasing their team's overall survivability in battle.

There is also "Extreme Expansion". For a normal team, increasing the storage space may not have much effect, but for them who are in the outer-level team, the storage space can often be equated with the benefits of a world, and its importance is naturally self-evident.

As for "Abyss Adaptation", to be honest, this thing was a complete surprise.

In fact, at the beginning, Yamu actually wanted to take a gamble on whether he could draw the ability to permanently increase his luck attribute, while the Death Bearer wanted to develop in the direction of physical speed or physical defense. Only he was more optimistic about various rarer resistance abilities.

In the end, because there was a high probability that extracting the lucky attribute gain would deviate to soul strength and willpower, which were relatively useless to them, and because physical speed and defense could be steadily pulled to the upper limit of the current rank by exploring the resources in the store, the Death Bearer and Yamu finally agreed to his plan to extract rare resistances.

Then...it became really fragrant.

Not to mention the Dead Man and Yamu, even he himself, when he saw that the skill card he drew was "Abyss Adaptation", he almost got so excited that he threw away his captain image and said "Fuck it".

You have to know that his original goal was actually resistance such as space resistance and world lightning resistance, which can be trained through normal means. As for abyss resistance, which is so rare that there are no items in the exploration store that can increase it, Xin Lailai himself never thought that he could increase it by relying on a team skill.

After all, according to the probability of Paradise Formula, even if they randomly draw an S+ level team skill card among A-~S+ level abilities, they only have a 5% chance of drawing an S+ level team skill card. And to draw "Abyss Adaptation", which is extremely rare among S+ level skills, even with his lucky attribute, there is only a 0.01% chance at most, which is something that normally people would not even dare to dream of.

Even Xin Lailai had some doubts. If this skill extraction did not consume the luck of their entire team, but his personal luck, then with this "Abyss Resistance", their luck would probably be directly reduced by more than 100.

After all, even though the extraction was undertaken by the team this time, after extracting the "Abyss Resistance", he clearly felt a sense of exhaustion as if his body had been drained, as if something in the dark was telling him that it would be best not to try anything related to luck in the next period of time.

"Unfortunately, if we want to significantly improve the team's skill level, we have to wait until the exploration store at the Deathbringer reaches level 5."

Xin Lailai looked at the three team skills on the interface, all at LV.1, and thought with some regret.

If you want to quickly improve the team's skill level, there are only two ways. One is to expand the size of the team + form a large-scale team to enter various high-difficulty worlds. In this way, as long as the operation is proper, it is not a problem to get more than ten team skill points in a world.

Another method is to purchase a large number of team experience cards and forcibly obtain team skill points by spending money, but this type of props is usually only available to large-scale cults, and they will basically be used up as soon as they get it. If they want to buy it, the only stable channel is the "Universal Authority Experience Card" sold in the "Exploration Store".

However, that requires reaching LV.5 in the exploration store and unlocking the "Authority Area" before purchasing it. Among the three of them, the Death Keeper and Yamu both chose the "Title Area" as their first unlocked area, and he chose the "Resource Area" as an additional area. Therefore, the only one they can count on is the Death Keeper, who is only about one abnormal world progress away from LV.3.

As for when the other party will enter the abnormal world again... Xin Lailai of other nodes is hard to say, but according to the training regulations of the pioneers, when they are undergoing the third-level transcendence trial, they will definitely not be able to avoid those abnormal worlds that have been eroded by the power of the abyss. This is the default rule of the transcendence trial.

That is to say, by the time they reach the fourth level at the latest, they will be able to rely on exploring the store to gain a large amount of team experience points. Considering the speed at which they level up, this time is not that long. You know, it only took him half a year to go from the first level to the third level. If you count from the point of restarting the file, it took the Death Bearer less than half a year. This promotion speed is extremely rare even among pioneers.

Come to think of it, in a few months, it would be his and Ling Yuzi’s wedding anniversary?

[Reminder: Preparation is complete, and you will be teleported back to your exclusive room soon]

A light blue beam of teleportation light fell, and Xin Lailai looked at the date at the edge of his sight, and for no reason his mind suddenly recalled what happened between him and Ling Yuzi.

"Gift...why don't we ask the promise boss if there are any suitable places for the two of us to visit?"

Come to think of it, their process in Demon Slayer World was indeed a bit too hasty. Although there were reasons for it, perhaps it would be an opportunity to make up for some of the weddings, banquets and other ceremonies that were owed during the first anniversary?

But that seemed a bit too much of a show. Given the current situation in the void and the various worlds, and considering their status as pioneers, it always felt a bit inappropriate to do such a thing at this point...

[Transmission completed, Pioneer has returned to the exclusive room]

"Huh? Why aren't the lights on?"

The slight feeling of weightlessness ended, and Xin Lailai looked at the dark room in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Just when he was subconsciously preparing to open the spiritual field and flip the switch...

Bang bang——! !

Two crisp sounds like paper tapes hitting the wall were heard, and the room that was pitch black a second ago suddenly became extremely bright. A large number of flying ribbons fell from the dome. At the same time, a pair of small hands appeared silently behind Xin Lailai and put a ring-shaped hat crown on his head, which made Xin Lailai startled.

“Aaaaaaaa!” “Guhi~!!”

"you……"

Three childish cheers rang out. He looked at the room in front of him that was specially decorated to look festive, and the three little guys who were flying towards him holding fireworks. The words in his mouth stopped for a moment.

Finally, Ling Yuzi floated in front of him and kissed his face, with a sly look in her ruby-like eyes:
"Happy birthday, Lailai."
