I became a saint in the game

Chapter 29: There is no hope, just wait to die

The Eight-Step Chasing Cicada skill may be useless in the eyes of other players. After all, proficiency in the skill requires practice.

The entry-level Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada can only accelerate twice at most, and it cannot be compared with other body movements in terms of cost performance, and its price is more than twice as expensive as other skills.

However, this is not an obstacle for Chen Shicheng at all. Do you know the power of merit?
After casually collecting the merit for killing Yu Wei again, his balance had reached 347.

A little merit can add one more year of cultivation. With 347 years of cultivation time, let alone these three ordinary skills, even the legendary magical powers can be upgraded!

Chen Shicheng, who didn't care about the difficulty and time of training at all, clicked three times on the panel without hesitation.

[You purchased the skills "Night Battle in All Directions", "Wind Sweeps Out the Clouds", and "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada", and the amount of money was -8 gold.]

【Money: 391 gold, 85 silver, 95 bronze】

For a player like Fruit Tang, 8 gold may be a huge sum of money, but for a rich man like Chen Shicheng, it is just a drop in the bucket.

After acquiring the new skill, Chen Shicheng immediately chose to learn it in the storage bar. As memories poured in, he quickly had a general understanding of the skill.

The Eight-Step Chasing Cicada skill has nothing to do with swordsmanship, and after learning it, it is only at the entry level.

However, those two sword skills seemed to be due to the basic sword skills at the limit-breaking level, so they reached the proficient level the moment they were learned. Moreover, in Chen Shicheng's opinion, it would be easy to reach the mastery level after just a few practices.

"One upgrade brings lifelong benefits. It really is true that a solid foundation must be laid!"

After learning the skills, he felt itchy and wanted to practice them right away, especially the eight-step technique of chasing away cicadas. He couldn't wait to go up to the roof and try it out.

Unfortunately, the space here is a bit small and not suitable for practicing martial arts. Moreover, one of his hands is missing and the bones of the other are broken. Not to mention carrying a knife to the roof, even going to the toilet is difficult for him.

We can only look at the specific situation of these three skills after we recover.

After finishing shopping, Chen Shicheng didn't want anything else for the moment. Although he had a piece of black iron in his hand, it was not big enough to make a weapon.

Moreover, in his current condition, it is impossible for him to run back to Huangchi County to find the blacksmith to complete the task.

Besides, he had always been concerned about the word "very lucky" that Fruit Candy blurted out, so he decided to stay here and see how the situation developed.

So he asked his personal guards to take him to his original destination, Juanyun Tower.

He randomly checked into a private room and declined the brothel owner's suggestion to have someone take care of him. Chen Shicheng then lay on the bed and began to upgrade his newly acquired physical skills.

[In the first year, with your solid martial arts foundation and strong body, you quickly mastered the "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada" to the proficient level.]

[Three years later, your footwork has become more and more proficient, and soon you can take four steps in a row, and your figure is becoming more and more unpredictable.]

[In five years, "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada" has become your instinct. Every step you take can be done at your will, and your skill has reached the mastery level.]

[In the ninth year, you took eight steps in a row, your body like a ghost, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and your light body technique was perfected.]

[merit: 338]

Chen Shicheng felt the changes in his body and subconsciously moved his feet. He immediately felt the strength of his calf muscles, as if he could rush out more than ten meters with just a slight movement.

Good guy!
As expected of a perfect level of agility, the power is sufficient. But if he really jumps out, given his current physical condition, he will most likely face his first death in the game.

He didn't dare to move anymore. He just lay obediently on the bed. After playing with the spicy strips to regain his energy with his head for a while, he logged off before dark.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Chen Shicheng had just washed his face when he saw the message sent to him by Fruit Candy, saying that he had arrived at the Juanyun Tower in Liantie Town and asked which room he was in.

After sending the room name, he quickly went to bed and entered the game.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that Fruit Candy had changed his appearance again with the help of a magic weapon, which was either equipment or a relic. He was stroking his mink up and down regardless of Latiao's resistance.

"Okay, can't you see it's very reluctant?"

Chen Shicheng used his right hand, which could barely move, to snatch back the pitiful spicy strips.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Fruit Candy looked up and down at the disabled but strong-willed Chen Shicheng and said jokingly, "You have lost your left hand and are still carrying a mink. Are you trying to recreate the real 'ordinary hero Yang'?"

"What do you mean by truly mediocre? Can you please take care of the patient's emotions?" Chen Shicheng sat up from the bed with an unconvinced look on his face.

"Patients, what?" Fruit Candy said speechlessly, "You insist on holding on to something that can be solved by dying once. Who can you blame?"

"I just don't want to experience the feeling of death."

"I don't feel anything. It will be over once you close your eyes. It will be more comfortable than it is now." Shui Guotang deliberately patted his left arm and laughed at Chen Shicheng, who was grimacing in pain.

"Why should I waste a year of my life if I can survive!" Chen Shicheng moved his butt and found a comfortable position to sit down. "Tell me, is there any way for me to recover?"

"If you don't want to die, there are two other ways. The first is the elixir, which can regenerate a person's severed limbs."

"how much is it?"

Chen Shicheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke in a tycoon's tone, causing Fruit Candy to glare at him in dissatisfaction, "Don't even think about it. There's no demand for it even though it's priced right. Players don't use it, and it's mainly circulated among NPCs. But the price is too high."

Looking at the somewhat disappointed Chen Shicheng, Fruit Candy showed a gloating smile, "Don't worry, more disappointment is still to come. The second method is a recovery spell, but the required level is very high, at least you have to be proficient, and you have to use it many times to recover."

"But you also know how difficult it is for players to practice skills. All their time is spent on their main attack skills. For auxiliary skills like this, apart from national organizations, you can only find some large guilds. They have clear division of labor and must have auxiliary talents."

"Money still doesn't work, right?" Chen Shicheng asked dejectedly.

"That's right. They have moved beyond vulgarity. If they want a big guild like this to make a move, they need to use high-level materials or equipment in the game."

"Am I going to die in this small Juanyun Tower after having been so wise all my life?"

When Chen Shicheng thought about facing his first death soon, he felt heartbroken and his eyes were filled with attachment to life.

But he suddenly had an idea and asked with some anticipation, "There are not many people who specialize in restorative spells, so are there many people with this skill?"
