Chapter 431 Success Rate of Level Up
The additional effects of [Long Range Shooting] and [Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy] are very simple and crude, but the changes to the panacea are a little more fancy, with two new secret medicines and two additional effects added.
But it’s also very reasonable, because [Pure Panacea] itself is flashy enough.
Compared with the additional effects, Gaode actually values the [Super Memory] secret medicine more.
Isn't this the equivalent of a youth version of a certain Doraemon's memory bread?
This is a prop that countless people have dreamed of.
Although there are no monthly or final exams now, learning is necessary no matter which world you go to, and for learning efficiency, in addition to comprehension, memory is also very important.
Three rare first-level spell points have been added, and there are still three source points left.
After Gothe thought for a short period of time, he selected three of the ordinary first-level spells he had mastered that he considered to have the highest priority.
【Craftsman's Blessing+】(Transformation, 1st level):
The subject will become luckier in the next step of crafting that requires luck.
Bonus: Your next craft will be more in tune with the tools you use, achieving higher precision and longer operational stability.
【Diagnose disease+】(Prophecy, 1st link):
You can determine whether a creature, an item, or an area carries a certain disease or infection.
Extra: After confirming the existence of a disease or infection, you can observe the target living environment (such as water sources, food storage) to obtain the disease transmission route.
[Decompose body +] (Necromantic system, level 1):
Through this spell, the caster can quickly decompose the fleshy parts of a corpse of giant or smaller size. Additional: During the decomposition process, the caster can also quickly extract the blood of the body through spells.
Yes, the three spells he finally chose were all functional spells.
Because the additional effects of "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" are mainly to add functionality and complement each other with functional spells.
Another point is that the combat spells commonly used by Gaode have already been added.
Those combat spells that have not yet been added with points are used less frequently and are backup spells that "can be used but must be available".
Compared to functional spells, their priority for adding points is naturally relatively low.
Hong Kong City Hall, Gaode's office.
The early morning sunlight is wrapped in the unique cold atmosphere of the north, slanting through the window, casting a narrow light and shadow on the floor.
There is a thin layer of frost on the windowsill.
Gaode was writing hard in front of the long table, the quill in his hand rustling.
He is drafting a draft that is extremely important to Phoenix.
This is the construction program of the second city in the north.
Phoenix is currently the only city in the North.
But now, its population has exceeded one million, and it is expected to expand to more than two million within one year in the future.
This is still a rough estimate.
Although the opening of Jinhui Farm has made food output relatively abundant, and Phoenix is developing rapidly, it is impossible to keep up with the growth rate of the population.
The resource pressure and management pressure generated by this large influx of population will "crowd" Phoenix sooner or later.
Hence, it is necessary to plan the construction of a second city as early as possible and then transfer part of the population there.
As for the location, there is no need to think too much about it, Gaode has already decided it long ago:
Wallar Bay.
It is not only a port connected to the outside world, but also a commercial activity point in the north. It has unparalleled economic value, and it is also an extremely important sacred tree domain point for the north.
Establishing a city in Varar Bay will, on the one hand, serve as a transportation hub for the northern border and facilitate cross-border commercial activities.
And based on this newly built city, a deep-water port will be established in Varar Bay to develop the shipbuilding industry, warehousing logistics and port-side commerce, making it the core engine that activates the commercial lifeline of the northern border.
On the other hand, with the sufficient manpower and material resources brought in after the city was built, we can establish an integrated system of "protection-scientific research-utilization" around the sacred trees to ensure more adequate protection of the sacred trees, better afforestation, and better utilization of tree resources.
After writing for a long time, Gothe raised his head, stretched heavily, and glanced at the scenery of Phoenix through the office window.
Since everything is on track, Phoenix's potential is being unleashed step by step.
It is like a huge train, accelerating along this flat track.
Even this is the current situation after AutoNavi intentionally slowed down its development speed slightly and put stability first.
Meaning must be eaten one bite at a time. Whether it is his personal cultivation path or the development path in the north, it cannot be rushed.
Just saying that, in fact, both of them are already ridiculously fast.
Let alone a month and a half, it is no exaggeration to describe Phoenix's current situation as changing every day.
·Under the great integration of tribes and the immigration introduction program led by Guardian Chief Quentin, new northerners join Phoenix almost every day.
As the population continues to increase, residential buildings and living facilities are rising accordingly. According to Gaode's Phoenix city construction plan, road construction is also a top priority.
Who would have thought that a year ago, Phoenix was still a dilapidated city close to a primitive tribe, with people dying of hunger every year.
Who would have thought that Gothe, who is now preparing to ascend to the second level, has only been nineteen months, less than two years, since he became a first-level mage.
This is already the seventh day since Gaode returned to the north.
After so many days of rest and adaptation, his condition has been adjusted to its optimal level, and he is almost ready to start trying to level up.
About the key points of being promoted to a second-level mage, Gothe has already read and understood it in the library of the Sea Sentinel Mage Tower.
The key points of promotion are expensive knowledge in the outside world, but in this area, Sea Sentinel is extremely generous and is directly open to Sea Sentinel mages for free.
But because his current authority can only check the key points for the promotion of second-level mage.
So Gaode is not sure whether Sea Sentinel will provide free promotion experience for higher levels in the future.
After all, second-level mages are still low-level mages, and they are nothing to a mage organization of Sea Sentinel's level.
Just like in the previous life, primary school and junior high school are both compulsory education and are free, but this treatment is no longer available from high school onwards.
From a mage apprentice to a first-level mage, there are four levels: cleansing blood, increasing vitality, converting mana into liquid, removing mental impurities, and expanding the sea of spells.
The corresponding ones are life span increase, pure mana, spiritual power improvement and final level promotion.
Although the process of being promoted from a first-level mage to a second-level mage is different, the essence is the same.
Upgrading to the second ring will also increase your life span, and the theoretical upper limit of your life span will be increased from 150 to 225 years.
It's just that this time, it is no longer the first level, but the last level, after expanding the magic star sea.
And it is no longer about washing the blood, but [Elemental Flesh]
[Elemental Flesh] is the signature ability of the second-level mage, which is comparable to the [accurate perception] possessed by the first-level mage.
At this time, the magic power in the mage's body will radiate to the body, and he will be able to choose an element to strengthen the body, that is, to elementalize it, thereby gaining resistance to the corresponding element and...::.increasing lifespan.
Mana liquid is transformed into crystallization, which is the first step to advance to the second level.
The so-called crystallization is actually easy to understand. It is a further upgrade of the form of mana, solidifying from the original liquid mana into a mana crystal.
The second level is to break the mental limit, that is, to break the 200 threshold.
In terms of mental power, there is no essential difference between a second-level mage and a first-level mage. It is just a simple increase in strength. Goude has already broken the limit early, which is equivalent to completing the second level of promotion to a second-level mage early.
The third level is still about expanding the spell star sea, from the first-ring star sea to the second-ring star sea, so that you can capture the second-ring spell stars and establish the second-ring spell model.
Although it is not easy to improve the level of a mage at a small stage, there is no so-called bottleneck.
The main idea is to practice it step by step. As long as you practice step by step, your magic power will always increase. The only difference is the speed.
The reason why the three stages of junior high, middle and late stages are distinguished is simply because at each new stage, the difficulty of improving mana will increase by one level.
Just like the first level stage, a mage with outstanding talent can be promoted from the early stage of the first level to the complete level in a very short period of time.
Those with mediocre talents, if they have a strong background and outstanding financial resources, can use magic potions + high-level training rooms or natural materials and earthly treasures like dragon and bird blood bacteria, and pile up resources to move themselves from the early stage of the first level to the late stage of the first level in a short period of time.
But in the world of mages, it is impossible to practice to a certain level, and the majority of mages are trying to rise to the level.
The reason is also very simple. There are only a few mages with "outstanding talents" or "outstanding backgrounds", and the latter are even rarer than the former.
Most mages can only use ordinary talents and ordinary resources to practice hard day after day.
One hundred and fifty years of life seems to be a lot, but it is really not enough for a mage to practice.
Like Gaode, his mage talent is already at the middle level.
But without the blessing of a high-level spiritual land and spiritual power beyond one's own realm, it would take about a year to condense a drop of liquid mana in the early stage of the level.
At the middle stage of the first level, the difficulty of mana condensation increases by one level, that is, it takes about a year and a half to condense a drop of liquid mana.
In the later stage of the first level, the difficulty goes up to another level, and it takes two years to condense a drop of liquid mana.
Those calculations show that even a moderate mage talent will take 90 years to practice from the early stage of the first stage to the perfect stage.
Under normal circumstances, it is quite remarkable that a mage with medium mage talent can become a first-level mage at the age of twenty, and more of them are concentrated after the age of twenty-five.
In other words, those with average mage talent will normally have to reach the first level of practice after the age of 115 and start trying to advance to the second level.
This is the ideal time calculated assuming that he never had any accidents during this period and continued to practice every day.
A mage whose talent is below the mid-range level, without special opportunities, will simply not be able to practice to perfection before reaching the limit.
For a mage with such talent to be promoted to a first-level mage, it is actually smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. A second-level mage is not something they are qualified to dream about.
The difficulties of cultivation are cruel enough, but before ascending to the ring, it is nothing.
Because the improvement of mana at least has no bottlenecks and no dangers.
Him promotion is different. It is a very dangerous thing with a very high probability of failure. It is a cruel trial.
According to the key points of Sea Sentinel's general promotion, without any external factors, the success rate of low-level (one to three-level) mages in level promotion is less than 20%.
In other words, of the ten late-stage first-level mages, only two will be able to be promoted to second-level mages.
Behind this cold number are the blood and tears of countless mages.
Perhaps some people think that if the ring upgrade fails, then try a few more times.
The success rate of 20% is low, but if you don’t do it once, you can do it five times. If five times doesn’t work, if you do it ten times, you can always succeed in raising the level, right?
It’s really not good.
It is true that you can try to upgrade the ring multiple times.
However, every time you fail to upgrade, you have to endure the backlash of magic power, which will leave hard-to-recover injuries on your body. Not only will it take a lot of time to recover, but it will also significantly reduce the success rate of the next upgrade.
Suppose the success rate of the first attempt to increase the level is 20%, then the success rate of the second attempt may be only 10%.
The success rate of the third ring upgrade is already negligible, almost zero.
Furthermore, the injuries caused by the magic backlash caused by failure to upgrade the level are constantly accumulating.
After many failed attempts to increase the ring, you are still not convinced and try your luck to try again. If you fail again, you may even lose your life on the spot.
According to statistics, more than 90% of those who are successfully promoted pass the level in one go.
Only 10% of lucky people will get what they want on the second try.
As for the cases where breakthroughs can be made more than three times, they are very few and are not included in the statistics at all.
In this situation, the magic potion for increasing the ring came into being.
It has two functions, one is to increase the success rate of ring promotion.
For example, the [Ivy Spirit Dew] that Gaode exchanged from Sea Sentinel can increase the success rate of level promotion by 40%.
After drinking it, Gaode's success rate of leveling up skyrocketed to 60%.
The second is to protect the mage who failed to upgrade from the backlash and resist the magic backlash caused by the failure to upgrade.
This is equivalent to providing an extra life to the mage.
Because of the protection of the ring-raising potion, no injuries were left on the body, so the success rate of the mage's next attempt to raise the ring is still 20%.
Of course, the ring-raising potion at each stage will only have an effect if you drink it for the first time.
Therefore, there is no bug that if you have enough level-up magic potions, you can try to level up unlimited times.
In fact, the 10% of mages who successfully promoted to a higher level in their second promotion basically drank the magic potion to increase their level during their first promotion. They used the magic potion to protect their foundation and left themselves with the fire to increase their level.
With a little bit of bad luck, I was able to change my fate against the odds—the first promotion with the bonus of the success rate of the ring-upgrading potion failed, but the second promotion relied entirely on my own and I was able to succeed. This is definitely luck.
Gaode silently calculated his success rate of leveling up in his mind.
20% plus 40% of [Ivy Spirit Dew], which is 60%....
My mental power has exceeded the limit first, which means that I have passed one of the three levels of leveling up, which can at least increase my success rate of leveling up by another 10%, which is 70%....
In addition, my place of promotion will be the core spiritual land where Ice Jade Wutong is located, which is the fifth level spiritual land.
The concentration of magic power in the fifth-level spiritual land is also very helpful for the crystallization of mana in the first level of level up, and it can at least provide another 50% success rate.
75%.
After getting the final answer, Gaode let out a long breath.
This success rate is already very high.
Reality is not probability, and variables cannot be strictly controlled. There are various influencing factors. Therefore, an event with a 75% probability, using a hundred as a sample, will often occur more than ninety times, instead of the 75 times in theory.
"Tomorrow, just tomorrow." He set a date for his promotion to the ring.
As for now, keep working.
Amap once again immersed himself in improving the construction draft at hand.
