Chapter 84 Intermission 20
Feng Bujue was overjoyed. However, the effect of this skill was a little bit different from what he had imagined of a proactive fighting skill. Anyway, no doubt that this skill could help him boost his strength in fighting.
He decided to learn the skill. Then, the system notification arose. "This is your Spiritual Value. You can see the specific value from here. Using spiritual skills will consume Spiritual Value. Spiritual Value can be recovered through resting or consuming special items. The system shop will not provide any quick recovery items for Spiritual Value. Current Spiritual Value: 140/140."
The game menu automatically popped up in front of Feng Bujue’s eyes together with the system voice. An arrow was pointing at the energy bar on the top left corner, under the Physical Value bar, which had a silver hue.
"Oh, so I have to learn a skill to open it…" Feng Bujue mumbled. From the game’s description, he knew that Spiritual Value was a new feature. Recently, he wondered why there was no new energy bar in his menu. Turned out it would appear when a player learned the related skills.
From this value, it could be seen that the Spiritual Value was matched with the current level, which was 140 points for level 14. Compared to Physical Value, it was just one-tenth. Of course, Physical Value had to be spent on many other activities such as running, walking, jumping, fighting, etc. Basically, any kind of action could consume a part of it. Besides, Spiritual Value was only used for skills; thus, it didn’t need to be in enormous numbers just to show off.
After he had received EXP and the skill card, Feng Bujue was about to queue for another scenario. It wasn’t 5:00 PM yet. If everything went well, he would reach level 15 before dinner time.
Although they didn’t explain it clearly, from some discussions on the game forum, generally, in non-sleep mode, a relatively long scenario hadn’t appeared yet. The scenarios, which were longer than eight virtual hours, could be seen 50% in sleep mode.
Feng Bujue planned to have dinner after the next scenario; thus, he didn’t delay more. He returned to his login space and tried to call Like Rain. However, his friend was in the Mall at this time, and she couldn’t answer him immediately. A window popped up a reminder to him. [Your friend did not answer. Maybe she is not in her login space. Would you like to send her a message instead?] Feng Bujue touched the screen and typed his text, "I’m ready. When you get back to the login space, message me."
Only when all the members of the team were in their own login space could the captain send them the team invite. The game’s description had mentioned this, and of course, Feng Bujue knew this information as well.
Like Rain didn’t let him wait for long. She soon returned to her login space and called him. After they were connected, Feng Bujue said, "How is it going? Did you harvest anything?"
"I didn’t check the Auction House. I went to the shops and bought a costume that can boost the recovery speed of my Spiritual Value."
Feng Bujue felt a little bit surprised. He had thought that Like Rain would certainly develop herself in fighting aspect, but it turned out that she wanted to invest in the new Specialty. Then he thought about it again since the attributes the costumes provided were random, perhaps Like Rain had chosen the best offer among the three attributes booster. Perhaps she had decided to improve her Fighting and Spiritual Technique. Anyway, in this game, focusing on only one Specialty wasn’t a cost-effective approach.
"Oh," Feng Bujue continued, "Hey, the union needs three players to co-sign. We have only two now, not enough though. Will you be online tonight?"
"Your friend and you, plus me, but you don’t have three players online now?" Like Rain seemed not to get it as she threw him a matter that could embarrass people.
"Yeah... true." Feng Bujue had delayed for one second before he confirmed the embarrassing fact.
"Let me guess… Wang Tanzhi, Longao Min, Little Bones and I are all the friends you have?" asked Like Rain.
Little Bones should be the nickname Like Rain used to call Dispirited Laughing Bones. Feng Bujue came right to this conclusion as he was listening to Like Rain. He pretended to wonder himself for a few seconds then took a deep breath to let the words come out from his teeth, "Hiss…" Then, he reluctantly replied, "Yes."
"This is difficult then. My situation and yours are not much different."
"F*ck!" Feng Bujue screamed in his mind. Anyway, he could only burst out in his mind; in reality, he could only force a smile. "Ah, ha, ha… That’s why I asked if you would log in tonight. I’m not sure about Long-Ge, but Little Tan would do. Including you and Dispirited, we have enough players to co-sign."
"Yeah, could be," Like Rain answered, "but we can’t be online for long. The continuous nervous connection is not good for the health. You should pay attention too."
"Hey! Before I met you, I have only been online for one hour! You saw me getting online when you got online doesn’t mean that I’m addicted. Okay?" Feng Bujue screamed in his mind again. In fact, he could only reply to her with a feeble tone, "Argh, thanks for your care."
"In addition, having meals on time is also important. It is possible that it would be around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM when we finish the next scenario, you should log out and eat something," she added with a calm voice.
"I think so! Who will not sleep or eat because of this? Perhaps when I was still a high school student! You are saying like I have nothing to do after logging out!" Feng Bujue was yelling inside, baring his claws and fangs in his login space since his friend couldn’t see that anyway…
If Feng Bujue and Like Rain were closer, he would soon spit everything nonstop. Anyway, they were still far from the level that he could babble about anything, so Feng Bujue could only answer her, "Ouch, I know…"
He felt that if they continued this talk, it would become a convo between a mother and her little boy. He then seized the chance and changed the topic, "Hey, for us to have dinner on time, we should hurry up."
"Yes," Like Rain simply answered him.
Feng Bujue was like he had just received the amnesty. Taking a deep breath, he started to work on his screen.
