Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game - Chapter 2462: Additional

Xu Chengcheng suddenly appeared anxious and looked up, saying, “Mr. Fang, the person you want to divine is too powerful. My abilities are limited, and probing the trajectory has a significant impact on me…”

Fang Heng observed Xu Chengcheng and the crystal ball he was controlling. The magic array slowly rotated in his right eye’s pupil.

[Hint: The player, through the ‘omniscient eye’, can now choose to master the skill-Basic Astrology. Would you like to master it?]

“Yes.”

Fang Heng thought to himself.

[Hint: The player has learned-Basic Astrology.]

[Hint: The player has mastered a significant number of academic skills. The experience points required for leveling up this skill will greatly increase.]

Skill-Basic Astrology (Level 1).

Type: Academic skill.

Description: Everything leaves a ‘trace’ in its operational state. We can use these traces to understand the past, present, and future events…

Description: Mastering this skill will grant the player an additional 2 points of basic perception, as well as an increase in basic perception equal to the skill level multiplied by 0.2.

Additional skill: Astrology

Skill description: Consuming mental strength allows you to perform a single divination on a target. If the divination is successful, you will gain partial related information. If it fails, there is a chance of backlash.

Additional description: If the astrological reading encountered a “trajectory” beyond the player’s current tier, there is a high likelihood of failure.

“That’s enough.”

Fang Heng looked up and interrupted Xu Chengcheng, who was about to continue with the astrology.

Performing astrology on a “demonic seed” was beyond Xu Chengcheng’s current abilities.

“I’m sorry.”

Xu Chengcheng looked visibly relieved, quickly stopping his efforts, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and stepping aside.

“That’s alright, you’ve done very well.”

Fang Heng said as he glanced over at Su Yi.

“What about Mysticism?”

“Mysticism is relatively more difficult at the entry-level. It requires prior knowledge of elemental science and Occult as prerequisite skills.”

Su Yi looked at Xu Chengcheng, who was drenched in sweat, and continued, “Actually, Mysticism is considered a more refined branch of Occult. It focuses on the study of magical engravings and various spell-related items. By applying mystical engravings, it enhances the final spell effects. It also involves researching the characteristics of various magical items and recombining them…”

Mysticism.

Fang Heng had heard about Mysticism during his classes at the academy.

It was also an auxiliary ability.

Typically, Mysticism allowed for enchanting weapons and equipment with mystical engravings, providing additional attributes and skill bonuses, as well as creating various constructs and magic scrolls. Most of the crafted items and scrolls could be traded.

With magic scrolls, players generally only needed to meet the mental strength requirement to cast spells and summon constructs, which was very convenient.

Additionally, scholars of Mysticism received a slight bonus when using their creations.

However, Mysticism was quite a niche among mainstream players.

The prerequisite for learning Mysticism was knowing elemental science and the Occult.

The general view was that Mysticism was a derivative skill of these two. Given that learning academic skills came with increasing penalties, most players typically focused on just one academic discipline.

Players who studied both elemental science and Occult were already rare. Even when the conditions were met, few chose to learn Mysticism, which was considered less useful.

Fang Heng happened to be preparing to study both elemental science and Mysticism.

“Alright, I understand. Can you give this a try?”

Fang Heng handed over a prepared long sword to Su Yi.

Su Yi carefully took the longsword, examined it for a moment, and then took out several vials and jars. He sprinkled a small amount of substance onto the blade and, with focused concentration, began to draw a magic array on the table surrounding the sword.

It was worth noting that alchemy could also positively affect Mysticism, but it wasn’t a mandatory prerequisite.

It was clear that Su Yi had not studied the relevant skills, as he appeared nervous and cautious while drawing the magic array. It took him a full five minutes to complete it.

Su Yi took a deep breath and placed his hand on the magic array.

“Chi, chi chi…”

As the magic array was triggered, the longsword began to emit dazzling electric sparks.

Fang Heng observed Su Yi’s actions, and his right eye’s omniscient eye activated.

A game hint flashed across his retina.

[Hint: The player, through the ‘omniscient eye’, can now choose to master the skill-Basic Elemental Science. Would you like to learn it?]

“Yes.”

[Hint: The player has now learned-Basic Elemental Science.]

[Hint: The player has mastered numerous academic skills. The experience required for leveling up this skill will be significantly increased.]

Skill-Basic Elemental Science (Level 1).

Type: Academic skill.

Description: The foundation of spellcasting is built on the five basic elements: Wind, Fire, Water, Lightning, and Earth. You have begun to learn and control these five fundamental spell variations, allowing you to exert some power.

Description: Mastering this skill grants 5 points of mental strength and an additional amount of mental strength equal to the skill level multiplied by 0.5.

Description: Skill level can be upgraded up to Level 10.

[Hint: The player, through the ‘omniscient eye’, can now choose to master the skill-Basic Occult. Would you like to learn it?]

“Yes.”

[Hint: The player has now learned-Basic Occult.]

[Hint: The player has mastered numerous academic skills. The experience required for leveling up this skill will be significantly increased.]

Skill-Basic Occult (Level 1).

Type: Academic skill.

Description: Each magical material has its unique attributes. Through the fusion and intensification of Mysticism, these materials can be made to exhibit various unexpected abilities. This is the essence of Mysticism.

Description: Grants 3 points of mental strength and an additional amount of mental strength equal to the skill level multiplied by 0.2.

Description: Skill level can be upgraded up to Level 10.

Satisfied with the skills he had acquired, Fang Heng nodded to Su Yi, signaling him to stop.

The omniscient eye was indeed very useful.

In just half an hour, he had mastered three skills. Now, the next step was crucial: finding a method to quickly gain experience and advance these skills to mid-tier levels.

Fang Heng looked at Su Yi and Xu Chengcheng.

As Old Black had said, they were both skilled in farming experience and had their unique techniques.

“Let’s discuss the rewards first. You’ve come to the barbarian realm game world. What did Old Black promise you?”

Both Su Yi and Xu Chengcheng showed clear signs of excitement and carefully looked at Fang Heng.

“Old Black said you agreed to teach us the vampire bloodline.”
