Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Looking at his remaining gold coins, Li Ming muttered to himself, "Wait, I still have some left. I'll upgrade the [Ghost Scepter]."

The Ghost Scepter can also be crafted into two higher-level pieces of equipment: the Staff of Clara and the Ethereal Blade.

[Clara's Staff] increases all attributes by 6 points and adds an additional 450 health and energy. It has the passive effect: Corruption Aura, and the active ability: Rumsk Ritual.

[Ethereal Blade] increases all attributes by 24 points and has the active ability: Ethereal Impact.

-----------------

Corruption Aura: Reduces the health regeneration of enemies within a 900-meter radius by 35%.

-----------------

Rumsk Ritual: Enter ghost form, immune to physical attacks, unable to attack, and take 30% more magic damage for 4 seconds.

Steal 5% of movement speed per second from enemies within a 900-meter radius. The movement speed stealing effect lasts for 1.5 seconds.

The Corruption Aura effect is increased to 75%, and the enemy's reduced health regeneration will be transferred to the user.

Cooldown: 20 seconds

Energy consumed: None

-----------------

Ethereal Blade: Fires an energy wave that transforms the target into an ethereal state, making them immune to physical attacks and unable to attack, but increasing magic damage taken by 30% for 4 seconds.

If the target is an enemy, the user will also receive 1 x their total attributes + 50 magic damage.

Cooldown: 22 seconds

Energy consumed: 100

-----------------

The [Clara's Staff] ghost transformation only affects the user, while the Ethereal Blade can affect both allies and enemies.

However, Li Ming considered his current isolated state, and also took into account that the [Clara's Staff] ghost transformation could steal the enemy's life regeneration effect and movement speed, making it more survivable.

So I chose the [Clara's Staff], in case I have a companion in the future, I'll let that companion wield the Ethereal Blade.

Anyway, it can be used by a companion, so it doesn't matter who uses it.

He first purchased [Essence Ball], [Vitality Ball], and [Energy Ball] from the system shop.

The effects of the three are: increasing health by 175 points and energy by 175 points; increasing health by 250 points; and increasing energy by 250 points.

Once in hand, they automatically combine to form [Soul Stone], which increases health and energy by 425 points.

Finally, buy another copy of the "Clara's Staff Crafting Blueprint".

By placing the [Ghost Scepter], [Soul Stone], and the "Clara's Staff Crafting Recipe" together, a [Clara's Staff] will be automatically crafted.

Having sorted out his equipment, Li Ming looked at his data panel.

[Host]: Li Ming

[Level]: Level 16

[Attributes]: Strength (79), Agility (54), Spirit (64)

[Hero Template]: Dragon Knight - Fire Dragon

[Innate Skill]: Dragon Bloodline

[Skills]: Flame Breath (4), Dragon Tail Sweep (4), Dragon's Fury (4), Ancient Dragon Form (2)

[Talent]: Enhanced Flame Aura (Cooldown -2 seconds), Enhanced Dragon Tail (Stun +0.4 seconds)

Status: Normal

Skill Points: 0

[Equipment]: [Eternal Disc], [Holy Staff], [Clara's Staff], [Shadow Blade]

Meanwhile, with the support of this equipment, his health reached 2558 points, energy reached 1581 points, attack reached 131 points, and armor reached 19 points.

Based on the training and physical examinations he had undergone at the martial arts school these past few days, and through data comparison, he learned that a first-tier bronze level person was an extraordinary individual with attributes between 10 and 100.

Therefore, the health of a Tier 1 Bronze should be between 100 and 1000, and the attack power should be between 10 and 100.

With four skills, an attack power of over 100, and health of over 2000, he is already in the second tier of bronze level, a genius among geniuses.

When fighting against Tier 2 enemies, attack damage will not be suppressed due to the difference in tier, and there will be a damage bonus when fighting against Tier 1 enemies.

This is also the main reason why he was able to crush the gray-white first-tier skeletons and kill more than ten silver skeletons head-on.

Although it was already very impressive, Li Ming was still extremely dissatisfied.

Because he already had this attribute nearly a month ago.

However, almost a month has passed, and his attributes and level have not changed.

During that month, he became a businessman and sold goods.

Apprentice at a martial arts school to train your body and practice combat skills.

None of these actions increased his attributes.

"It seems that my level and attributes are fixed by the system, and I can only improve them by gaining experience."

"But how do I level up?"

The "Hero Template" reward for achieving "Millionaire" status also requires reaching Tier 2 to be officially activated.

To reach the second tier, you need to raise your attributes to 100. No matter which attribute breaks through 100, it will allow the superhuman to break through to the second tier.

Local extraordinary individuals can gradually improve their attributes through training—extreme physical training, continuous meditation, and repeated skill training.

The only difference is that geniuses can quickly improve their attributes with just simple training, while ordinary people need to spend more time.

Li Ming had already tried all these methods, either actively or passively, but none of them worked.

For him now, there is only one way to improve his attributes, and that is to increase the level of the template - Dragon Knight. Every hero in Dota can be leveled up to level 30. He is only level 16 now. When he reaches the maximum level, his attributes will definitely reach 100 points.

However, the current problem is how to gain experience.

"It is known that killing monsters in the secret realm grants experience; refining essences with the Midas Touch grants experience; killing undead skeletons does not grant experience."

What are the differences and similarities among these three?

"It's a pity Aunt Isadora bought the Midas Touch for herself. If she could sell me the experience orbs she crafted from it, leveling up would be a breeze!"

"Should we open a shop to sell more [Hand of Midas] and then recoup the experience points?"

While pondering how to become a second-tier silver, Li Ming opened the warehouse door, returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and slowly drifted off to sleep while looking at the moon outside the window.

At midnight, with three moons in the sky, the tranquil forest came alive with the light of the moon, as some nocturnal creatures began to stir.

Outside Ali's orchard, several men in black stealthily crept to the treehouse under the cover of night.

They sprinkled some special medicine onto the bark of the Targu tree, and the previously closed warehouse door quietly opened.

The group quickly slipped inside. "Where's Moon Spring Crystal?"

"What are these things?"

"Boss, it's magical equipment!"

"Forget about this junk equipment, let's find Moon Spring Crystal right away!"

"Boss, it seems there's nothing else, just these pieces of equipment!"

"Damn it, weren't they supposed to have Moon Spring Crystals delivered this afternoon? What happened to them all? Come on, let's go upstairs and arrest the owner of this house, and ask him where he hid all those Moon Spring Crystals!"

"Walk!"

Unable to find Yuequanjing, the men in black decided to cause trouble for Li Ming instead.

"Bonebreaker, you stay here and find some valuable equipment to pack up. We can't leave empty-handed."

They left one man in black in the warehouse, while the rest of them left together.

"With so much equipment, which ones should I equip? I can't tell which ones are valuable! I'll just equip the ones with fewer items; the ones with fewer items are bound to be valuable!"

"Who is it?"

"ah--"
