Chapter 13: Upper Limit of Intelligence
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The training to beco a Wizard has got to be a joke right? They want to morize spells without telling anything else? And if I refuse to morize them, they tell to get lost?”
“Sa here. And we still have to pass the training to reach Level 1. Hello, we’re here to play a ga and not to let the ga play us.”
“After listening to the lecture for 10 minutes, I gave up. What a waste of my 18 point character. I’ve deleted it and restarted to beco a Fighter instead.”
“My Druid is still lost in the forest but I’m not a Ranger. Does anybody have a good strategy for ?”
“Dude, you’re already listening to them talk about spells but pitiful can’t even find the Wizard Association. None of the NPCs in the village know anything and they can’t even seem to be bothered about .”
“Dude, did the ga allocate you to the wrong place? I suggest you look at the map on the back. As far as I know, a village wouldn’t have a Wizard Association. You have to find the nearest town. But I wouldn’t suggest you do that.”
“Why?”
“That’s because the minute I went out of the village, I got stabbed by a bunch of goblins on the way to the town and ended up back at the Palace of Character Creation. How painful. The system even told that it’s deducted one Revival Stone and I only have 4 more left. Does this an what I think it does?”
“Yup. Congrats, dude. You have 4 more chances to revive before your character completely disappears.”
“This ga seems too inflexible. It’s been 2 hours since the servers went live but not a single person has finished their training and co out to fight any monsters.”
“From what I heard, one of the major gaming leagues tested out the ga and decided not to put in any more resources to continue playing the ga. They think that a ga with such harsh requirents isn’t suitable to beco one of the top gas and doesn’t have that much potential.”
“Can I check with you guys about sothing? All I did was whine about how one of their god’s teachings was a bit backward and those clerics chased out, saying I was a heretic. Then which Character Class should I take on?”
“I would advise all players who aren’t masochistic or sothing to just go ahead and dump all your points into choosing a Barbarian. If you choose anything else, you’re going to get stuck for days without being able to run around.”
“Run around? Dude, you must be a Rogue, right? We Wizards are still quietly sitting in lectures. I can’t believe I paid 300 bucks just to sit here and listen to a ga talk to about magic. I’ll just take it that I’ve increased my religious score. Goodbye.”
The majority of the players were still within the ga and were unable to log onto any discussion forums to post anything.
But that didn’t stop so of the players who had already decided to switch to a different Character Class or those whose characters died in an accident to log out of the ga and go to the forums to complain.
The forum discussion reached its peak for the first ti after the ga servers opened at 8 PM.
Everyone was completely confused. When would they finally be able to fight so monsters?
Or at least send them on so mission to deliver so items or retrieve equipnt or sothing along those lines.
They didn’t ask to save the world, but wasn’t there sothing they could do with their initial Character Class features?
Even the lousiest MMORPG would offer a weapon of sorts in the beginning.
But Zhao Xu was still working hard at his studies.
He quietly glanced at the female wizard walking up and down in front of his desk. But her robe was a little oversized and he couldn’t see her figure clearly.
Antonya’s observation skill was certainly not low. Before Zhao Xu had glanced at her for even three seconds, she turned around and stared straight at him.
Zhao Xu was finally able to make out the color of her eyes. They were black like his.
“Do you have a question for ?”
Zhao Xu didn’t dare to say that he had been distracted by wondering about her figure, so he quickly changed the topic and said, “ntor, I’m not sure if my 16 point Intelligence is enough?”
The Ability Scores in the world of Arthur went by a point system, and it was no secret to the characters native to Arthur. So of course soone like Antonya, who was probably at least a Level 10 Wizard, would definitely know about it.
Every point on one’s Ability Scores made a difference. Each ti a player’s Ability Score increased, the player could feel an obvious increase in power.
But after Antonya heard Zhao Xu’s question, she just nodded quietly and replied, “It’s enough if you just have 11 points of Intelligence.”
“ntor, are you joking with ?” asked Zhao Xu.
For most of the Character Classes that could cast spells in Arthur, if you wanted to cast a Level X spell, you needed to have 10 X number of points in the relevant Ability Score.
If Zhao Xu remained at 16 points of Intelligence without increasing it, this would only be enough for him to cast a Level 6 Arcane Spell.
If he wanted to cast a Level 9 Arcane Spell, he needed to increase his Intelligence to 19 points.
Because without this Intelligence score, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend those spells at all.
11 points of Intelligence was just enough to et the requirents to cast a Level 1 Arcane Spell.
Zhao Xu was no genius, but he knew that what Antonya ant was that he could always increase his Intelligence levels later on.
Each player could increase his Ability Scores once every four levels, so Zhao Xu wasn’t worried that his 16 point Intelligence would never hit 19.
But Wizards wouldn’t turn down having more Intelligence.
Intelligence brought along additional spell slots, and this was extrely vital since wizards didn’t get a lot of spell slots to start with.
Many wizard players found it very tough to play in the beginning because they would finish using all their spell slots very quickly.
Unless you only fought one or two monsters a day, the number of spell slots wasn’t enough.
In general, everyone just watched as new wizards finished all their spell slots, then just stood in one corner and shot at enemies with a crossbow.
But, because Wizards didn’t have high Hit Points, their arrows didn’t do much damage to monsters and rely scratched the surface.
If they stood too far in front, their teammates would end up worrying that they might accidentally suffer damage from the monster and just collapse on the spot.
“Guess how many points of Intelligence I have now? If your answer is no more than 5 points away from the actual score, then I’ll give you a present. It’s a really valuable present too.”
Zhao Xu looked calmly at Antonya.
He had placed a lot of importance on the allocation of his Ability Scores in the beginning because it was so hard to get points for them.
In his previous life, he managed to get a 2 Strength belt. But unless he could get another 4 Strength item, using items to increase his Ability Scores wasn’t possible anymore.
That was because items provided additional scores, and items with the sa additional scores could not be used together.
There were apparently so 6 Magic Items in the market and these were supposedly the maximum additional scores you could get. He had only seen those on powerful Fighters who had passed Level 10.
So he could more or less calculate what Antonya’s Ability Scores were.
This part of Arthur was very transparent. Once he knew Antonya’s Ability Scores and Character Level, then he would also be able to calculate how many spell slots she had.
Zhao Xu started to think to himself, “Out of respect, I’ll take it that you started with the maximum of 18 points of Intelligence.”
“Since you’re so young, I’ll take it that you’re a Level 12 Wizard, and that’s already very impressive. That’s enough for 3 additional points, so 18 3 would be 21 points.”
“Then if I add on a Magic Item that all wizards wish they could get their hands on, a 6 headband, then 27 points would really be the maximum.”
The thods to increase your Ability Scores in Arthur were very straightforward and there were no tricks you could pull.
“That’s enough to affect the number of spell slots you have, right?” Zhao Xu asked carefully.
In order for Intelligence to be able to affect the number of spell slots one had, then it had to remain at the sa score for at least 24 hours to take effect.
If the score could remain the sa for 24 hours, then it would beco as good as permanent.
He was just afraid that there was so spell he didn’t know about that could sohow increase the Intelligence score in so other way temporarily.
“But of course.”
“25 points?”
Antonya allowed him a variance of 5 points, so he would win as long as it was within 20 to 30 points.
So Zhao Xu deducted two points from his original calculation of 27 points, since that was based on the best-case scenario.
“Seriously? You’re really underestimating by too much. You could double that number.”
“How could you have 50 points?!”
Zhao Xu found it a little hard to believe.
