Chapter 220 A08 updated! Career system!
【8 Update Announcement:
Added a new career system!
In order to enrich the gameplay and in response to the requests of the majority of players, "Calamity OL" now has a new career system!
As a supplement to the gameplay, the career system does not affect players' skill learning and is independent of the skill system. It only provides semi-permanent attributes and resistance BUFF bonuses. At the same time, specific professions will also grant players special abilities. For example: Players who transfer to the acolyte profession can receive undead pets from the job transfer altar of the acolyte profession, and after reaching the highest professional level, transfer to the high priest of death to gain the ability to control the undead army!
Professional levels can be upgraded by receiving professional tasks at the job transfer altar and are not restricted by race. After reincarnation, the original professional level will be automatically inherited. However, it should be noted that players need to carefully consider their own race and future game style when choosing a profession. For example, the warrior's aura has little effect on little devils who are not good at melee combat, and the knight's intimidating aura will conflict with the succubus's charm talent.
In addition, the BUFF bonus provided by a profession will be related to the "legendary" of the profession, and the accumulation of legend requires the joint efforts of players of the profession. The method of obtaining legend is not limited to completing the commandments on the career altar and completing the tasks released by the career altar. Let the oath you swore spread widely in the game world, and you will become stronger!
The six professions currently open are: Cemetery Warrior, Cemetery Knight, Cemetery Assassin, Cemetery Archer, Cemetery Mage, and Cemetery Acolyte.
For more ways to play, please explore by yourself!
More optional races:
Biological system: artificial human (initial attributes 3/3/3/3/3) (Talent: no fatal weakness, immune to bleeding) (Minimum soul level requirement: Normal) (Reincarnation cost: 2000) (Initial resurrection cost: 200)]
The official website of "Calamity OL" is as lively as ever today.
Especially with the sudden release of the A08 update announcement, the already intense exchanges on the forum have been pushed to a higher climax!
Knowledge explosion: "6666!"
!!』 . 》
pleasurable, the development team has finally remembered that “Calamity OL” is a closed beta game.』
The last A07 version was years ago.
Although there is not much content in this update, it has updated a brand new gameplay. No one can blame the dog planner for not doing his job anymore.
Ichiba Zhiqiu: "When I made an appointment for the test before, I was still thinking that the new race "artificial human" can play the role of adventurer. Is it a hint that the career system will usher in a major update? I didn't expect that two major updates were actually crammed into one update. (Sweat)"
The Greatest Bear: "The planner is too conscientious!"
The Pig Head Knight: "Give up, buddy, that guy has never appeared on the forum. Even if you lick him, he won't give you an extra chicken leg."
The Greatest Bear: "What is it called? Lick! I am speaking from the bottom of my heart! (angry)"
Dragon Slaying Warrior: "Dog Planner: The plug-in has arrived. (Funny)"
Huge Wan: "Planner: Your account is gone. (Funny)"
Dragon Slaying Warrior: "No, brother! I was just kidding! (Horrified)"
Can't afford it: "Brother Ye, are you going to change your character to play? (Funny)"
Ichichichi: "Forget it, I have become comfortable playing skeleton soldiers for so long. Changing the race may not increase the strength, so it is better to switch to skeleton mage directly." The more people who are professional, the higher the professional intensity? "
I will form the head: "Got it, I will turn to the mage!"
I will form the legs: "Take me one!"
With the launch of the new version and the establishment of the professional altar, the players of "Calamity OL" have new fun. For a time, many people in the Necropolis went home to "wishes for the New Year".
Humbling in the depths of Beifeng Mine, with the flickering of green light, all kinds of undead and demons walked out of the teleportation array, and then followed the navigation and went straight to the nearby job transfer hall, joining the long queue at the door.
In the center of the solemn hall, six stone tablets connecting the ground and the dome were standing majestically.
The clear and transparent faith crystal is inlaid in the center of the stone tablet, and lines of ancient Hades are inlaid on both sides of the crystal, exuding a ghostly green light.
Those Hades books contain the commandments and blessings of different professions.
For example, absolute loyalty to the necropolis, emphasis on life and reverence for death, and never attacking those who serve the Demon King, etc...
If you violate these precepts, you will be punished accordingly. On the contrary, if you abide by these precepts, you will receive different blessings according to your professional level.
For example, the cemetery warrior will gain a 10% strength increase, the cemetery knight will increase the hardness of the bones, the arrows fired by the cemetery archer will gain the bonus of ghost energy, and the cemetery assassin will gain the passive ability to hide the aura in the dark, etc.
There is a chief priest in robes in front of each altar, and five acolytes stand behind the chief priest.
Their faces were covered by hoods, revealing only a pair of eyes shining with soul fire.
Under the command of the chief priest, they will complete the baptism ceremony for the players and grant them bonuses from different professions.
"Holy shit... this is too realistic." Following the team into the hall, the pig-headed knight looked around and was severely shocked by the solemn and solemn atmosphere.
It’s hard to imagine.
This majestic palace was actually built deep in the mountains, and it was chewed out bit by bit by burrowing spiders with their mouthparts!
Looking at the pig-headed knight looking around, the tauren warrior reminded him nervously.
"Brother, please be normal for a while, and don't get blocked by the NPC."
Hearing these words, the pig-headed knight was immediately unhappy and cast a dissatisfied look at the old cow.
"What do you mean I'm normal? Aren't you usually normal?"
The players around him had subtle expressions on their faces, and they all distanced themselves a little away from him.
On the other side not far away, [Chemical Pool] who had completed the baptism let out a strange scream of excitement, shouted "It's done", and rushed out of the hall with the two summoned baby skeletons, not knowing what they were doing.
This guy actually changed his job and became a graveyard acolyte!
However, considering his usual play style, it is reasonable to take the summoning route.
It is better to have two scapegoats following you than to die yourself.
Withdrawing his gaze from the door of the hall, Yiye Zhiqiu composed himself and walked towards the chief priest who was watching him.
The ghostly light emitted from the cemetery mage's altar shrouded the top of his head.
For a moment, he felt a special power pouring into his body and soaking into his soul.
That feeling is difficult to describe in words, as if the magical elements floating around him were getting closer to him.
While Yiye Zhiqiu was carefully feeling the surging energy, the chief priest directly in front of the altar looked at him expressionlessly and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.
"Player "Yiye Zhiqiu", are you willing to use the magic wand in your hand to fight for the devil and defend the glory of the necropolis..."
Yiye Zhiqiu looked solemn and nodded respectfully.
「I do.」
The chief priest nodded slowly, took a golden cup from the hands of the acolytes on the side, and scooped up a handful of clear and transparent liquid from the pool under the stone tablet.
He chanted obscure incantations in his mouth, then stretched his hands forward and poured the liquid in the cup onto Yiye Zhiqiu's head.
The cold touch passed through the skull and down the spine, soaking into every bone.
What surprised Yiye Zhiqiu was that just when the cold touch flowed through his chest, he suddenly felt a warm current welling up from the depths of his soul and quickly filled his whole body.
Unable to hide his surprise, he raised the phalanges of his right hand, his mind moved slightly, and soon a wisp of fire burst out from his fingertips.
The blessing of the mage profession can actually speed up spell casting!
When he realized this, Yiye Zhiqiu was greatly shocked.
He originally thought that the mage profession only improved attribute values, but unexpectedly it also improved his elemental affinities!
That is not the attribute written in the character panel, but the hidden rules he has figured out in the long battle!
There is an attribute in this game that is not shown externally. The higher the value of this attribute, the faster the same spell can be released while other attributes remain unchanged!
Just when he was shocked by his own changes, the chief priest standing under the altar looked at him with a smile and said.
"The ceremony is over, congratulations on completing the baptism of office..."
"From now on, you will serve as a glorious cemetery mage, fighting for the glory of the necropolis."
"I hope you can abide by the precepts on the stone tablet and the oath you made in front of the stone tablet. Breaking it will make you fall into the abyss of eternal destruction."
"The Demon King will always watch you until the end of time. Things die..."
"Keep your teachings in mind, I will abide by my creed until the end of time!" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yiye Zhiqiu left the altar and gave up his position to other players who were still in line.
Looking at Yiye Zhiqiu passing by the queue, Huwan, who was waiting in other queues, quickly grabbed him and asked impatiently.
"How do you feel? Are there any changes?"
Looking at the expectant looks on the faces of the players around him, Ichigo thought for a while, nodded and said.
"The change is quite big. Not only is the casting speed faster, but the intelligence attribute has also been improved. If my character strength was 10 before, then after the job change, it is 12...at least for me."
The players around me all looked surprised, especially Hu Wan, who said with envy.
"A 20% increase in strength?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded.
"Almost yes."
Faster casting not only means higher DPS, but also means shorter attack back and forth, reducing the time to freeze.
For his role as a melee mage, the increase in spell casting speed is even more impressive than the increase in attributes.
Of course, if it is a little devil profession with mostly standing mages, the impact may not be that great.
Especially if you focus on spiritual magic, he feels that it might be better to become an acolyte.
According to the official setting description, the professional blessing of the acolyte focuses on the enhancement of mental power, while the magician focuses on the enhancement of intellectual attributes.
Although the recommended method for the Acolyte profession is summoning, it does not necessarily require summoning.
For example, little devils who are naturally good at spiritual attacks are the most typical example. They can choose an acolyte to play as a mage.
But looking at the long queue in front of the mage altar, Yiye Zhiqiu estimated that it was useless to say anything.
Just because of what he said on the forum yesterday, all the little devil players in the necropolis rushed to line up in front of the mage altar...
…… ...
Just as the players lined up to go to the job transfer hall to complete their inauguration, Luo Yan, who was standing on the high platform in front of the hall, was watching them quietly.
As more and more players entered the hall, he and Yiye Zhiqiu discovered an interesting phenomenon.
Due to the overly realistic skill system, wizards who rely on skills have never been a popular profession, but this time there are surprisingly more players switching to mages, even more than the other five major professions combined.
"It seems that the mage from the Necropolis will be the first to become a legend."
Luo Yan suddenly felt something in his heart when he thought of this, and said in a half-joking tone.
"Yuyou, do you think I should also take the title of mage for fun?"
To be honest, he was really moved.
Spell casting speed and attribute bonuses are also very useful to him. Although he does not have many chances to fight, who would think that he is too strong?
However, after hearing Luo Yan's words, Youyou couldn't help but complain.
"Lord Demon King, you already have so many titles, do you still need the title of mage? If you think you are not strong enough, why don't you just add a buff to the title of King of Flame?"
Luo Yan was slightly startled.
"Is this okay?"
Yoyou nodded her abstract head.
"Of course! It's not you who has the final say on how to spend the power of faith? Moreover, isn't it a basic operation to use the power of faith to strengthen one's title? For example, the emperor of the empire obtained immortality through this method, right? There are also legends written by the chosen ones of the Campbell family through their own experiences, aren't they actually strengthening their titles?"
Hearing this, Luo Yan immediately opened his mind.
That makes sense!
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Yuyou said aggrievedly.
"You didn't even ask me."
Luo Yan: "..."
Okay.
It is true that he didn't ask, which can't be entirely blamed on Youyou for not saying anything.
But in fact, even if he had asked before, it would be meaningless. After all, with the spread of the Flame King legend at that time, even if he attached various halos to the title, the increase he could obtain would probably be quite limited, or he would have to spend the power of faith to maintain it.
If only he can enjoy the BUFF of this title, it would undoubtedly be a big loss. After all, he doesn't have many opportunities to take action personally.
Just when Luo Yan was thinking about what kind of BUFF would be more suitable for him to add to the title of King of Flame, the players in the job transfer hall had completed their job transfers one after another, and headed towards the teleportation array with their still warm BUFFs.
The number of monsters in the maze is limited, which is not enough to test the BUFF strength of the professional system. In comparison, the front line of Kaa Planet is more suitable as a leveling place for combat professional players.
Such a high-frequency use of the teleportation array, even if he hitched a ride on the Chaos Gate outside the Brass Pass, Luo Yan also consumed a lot of the magic crystals in his hand. In just half a day, he used up half a month's worth of them.
But compared to the cost of the power of faith, the loss of the magic crystal is nothing.
Constructing the entire career system cost him one million faith points, and also increased the daily maintenance cost of 10,000 faith points.
【Faith value: 180W】
【Daily net growth: 40073】
The spirit sank into the sea of consciousness. Looking at the balance of faith points on the stone tablet deep in the sea of consciousness, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, so much so that the idea of adding a BUFF to his title was diluted a lot.
"...This is probably the most expensive update since the launch of the "Calamity OL" server!"
One million points of faith is enough to upgrade a silver-level soul to a gold-level soul. This considerable expense almost emptied half of the wool he collected from Thunder City!
Yuyou, who was floating aside, comforted.
"It's okay, Lord Demon King, at worst you can just go to Thunder City to harvest again! Anyway, the people there are almost turning into your shape."
Luo Yan glanced at Youyou.
“Who did you learn this statement from?”
Although this is true, it feels weird coming from its mouth.
Yoyou smiled shyly and said proudly.
"Of course I learned it from your players."
Henceless to complain about this guy's triumphant look, Luo Yan shook his head and waved away the operation interface that appeared on the stone tablet.
「……希望这笔投资是值得的。」
肉疼归肉疼。
When it came time to spend the power of faith, Luo Yan actually didn't hesitate much.
After all, there is no interest in saving faith value. Only by spending it can you get greater benefits.
The six major professions updated this time are actually like the titles of human countries.
When players spread the legend of these titles in Osland and spread the reputation of "Grave Knight" to adventurers, the professional altar maintained by the acolyte will automatically gain the power of faith from it, and the faith territory of the Necropolis will also expand accordingly.
Most of the power of faith absorbed through the profession system will be used to strengthen the blessings of each profession, that is, to enhance the BUFF of players. A small part will be extracted into the main faith crystal as the "faith tax" levied by the devil.
This is a long-term investment.
Although it will be a loss in the short term, as players become active, this investment will generate a surplus sooner or later.
At that time, the career system will not only no longer require him to subsidize 10,000 faith points per day, but may also provide him with dividends of tens of thousands of faith points per day.
Luo Yan felt somewhat comforted when he thought of this.
…"Just think of it as being lent to the players first."
