The ti that followed seed to speed up.
Chen Miao transford into a ticket collector brimming with imnse enthusiasm for his job, standing at the bus door and calling out to the deserted road – this was the first ti he had ever been so passionate about work.
In his previous life, his bosses often said he lacked passion for his work, and he had always thought that he was the kind of person who would never be enthusiastic about work. Now it seed that it was all just a matter of not enough money; give him enough, and he could even turn into the Wolf of Wall Street, firing himself up before starting work.
Soon—
They were quick to reach the ninth station.
By now, only five players remained alive; the rest had perished.
These five players were Doctor Gou, that dog, the old man who could sacrifice his lifespan, the man from Gaobei City in the straw raincoat, and the Insect Tribe Priest from Jingjiu City.
Not counting Chen Miao.
He was the ticket collector, not considered a player.
Those who had survived were individuals with special thods of their own; everyone was a seasoned Supernatural being. However, even among seasoned Supernaturals, there were differences in strength, and those without special thods had perished at the previous stations.
The battle that saw the most deaths was against a boss.
That was a terrifying boss—a ghost boss in red, immune to almost all forms of physical damage, such as from firearms, fists, swords, and other conventional weapons. Only certain special skills effective against spiritual bodies could damage this boss.
Nine people died in that battle.
The ghost in red would first attack the person who was most terrified in their heart, moving on to the next victim only after the first had died.
If it hadn't been for the man from Gaobei City in the straw raincoat, who just so happened to possess skills that could damage spiritual bodies, they would have all been wiped out at that station. That battle was completely up to luck.
Skills that could damage spiritual bodies were extrely rare, and they were mostly common skills. Since common skills were already rare, and with such a buff added, they beca even scarcer.
More importantly, these skills were usually unnecessary, as there were few secret realms filled with ghostly monsters, not to ntion that Supernaturals could freely choose whether to enter a secret realm. If you knew there were ghostly monsters inside, you could simply choose not to go.
However...
In event number 128, the Hell Bus Incident, there just so happened to be a situation where possessing this skill was essential. If it weren't for the man from Gaobei City, or if he had died at the earlier stations, then all eighteen people would have been dood there.
Chen Miao could have chosen not to get off the bus, but he decided to step off when he saw Doctor Gou close to death and attempted to help.
Unfortunately, it was of no use.
His unstoppable bullet storm was ineffective against the ghost boss, who was immune to physical damage.
After surviving that stage, the difficulty of the subsequent stations significantly decreased, and nobody else died, resulting in the five of them still being alive now.
They were quickly approaching the ninth station, not long from completing the ordeal.
...
"..."
Chen Miao sat silently in his seat without speaking. If before he was unclear about the direction to take to improve his strength, now, after this experience, he had an idea.
Through his conversations with Old Gao, he learned about the latter's thought process while learning this skill.
Old Gao was an Event Hunter.
Soone who rarely enters secret realms, focusing instead on fixed events, these Supernaturals usually possessed exceptional personal strength, combat experience, and ntal fortitude, for any single fixed event was many tis more difficult than a secret realm of the sa level.
Naturally, the rewards were also many tis greater.
Old Gao had already completed seven fixed events. Skills have no upper limit; theoretically, as long as you are willing, you could even learn a hundred skills, but in practice, learning many would be pointless.
On one hand, there weren't that many skills available to learn.
Besides the exclusive skills of your occupation, the other sources of acquiring skills were mostly common skills, which were scarce.
Furthermore, level one skills often didn't exhibit their full power, and it took ti to increase your skill proficiency, which was a ti-consuming task. It wasn't feasible to enhance the proficiency of so many skills.
In a life-and-death battle, your opponent won't wait for you to cast dozens of skills at them.
So generally speaking—
You can have an unlimited number of passive skills; the more, the better.
For active skills, it's best to have your own skill set and max out the proficiency of each skill.
That's the correct path for a seasoned Supernatural to increase their strength.
In fixed events, there are nurous special scenarios.
For instance, like this ghost boss immune to physical damage, if a Supernatural did not possess skills capable of damaging spiritual bodies, they could only wait for death, regardless if they were a level 60 Supernatural standing at the pinnacle of the Federation; without that skill, they could only await their demise.
This is a rule-based execution.
An unreasonable crisis.
Or take the boss Old Gao encountered in a major event, which was immune to all damage except for continuous damage abilities—the so-called bleeding skills.
The hidden occupation of the 'Wizard' excels in continuous damage, being able to curse the enemy to suffer damage every second. Only this type of damage could harm the boss.
There was no Wizard in that team, but Old Gao happened to have skills causing continuous damage and once again survived.
These skills, only useful in extre cases, are generally worthless under normal conditions. But once you encounter such an extre situation, they beco invaluable.
Once he got out of here, he would also need to find so skills for himself that could be useful in extre situations.
Otherwise...
If he weren't the ticket collector, but one of these Supernaturals instead.
If Old Gao weren't there.
He would probably really die in this fixed event.
This fixed event, initially thought to be a certain death, didn't make him feel much at risk, but after witnessing the rampage of the ghost boss in red, he truly comprehended the concept of a seasoned Supernatural for the first ti.
Being a seasoned Supernatural didn't necessarily an they were extraordinarily strong.
Just like letting Old Gao and him fight a 1v1 deathmatch, he would most likely defeat Old Gao.
But if he and Old Gao entered ten fixed events simultaneously, Old Gao would likely have a much higher survival rate than him.
Old Gao's depth was simply too profound because he had faced so many crises and naturally prepared many things to cope with them.
Only by surviving could one beco a seasoned Supernatural.
However—
Soon, Chen Miao, sitting in his seat, grinned again, looking at the mission panel in front of him. After getting out of here, would he also beco a barely qualified seasoned Supernatural?
