Zhang Xing Yu had Nightmare Lord check it out, and found that during the time she had been learning skills, Odilia's excitement level had continued to rise, gaining almost 100 energy in total. This was more than triple the amount she had gained before her death!
Although happy, Zhang Xing Yu didn't become complacent. Instead, she asked Nightmare Lord to break down the energy Odilia had gained into smaller details.
Nightmare Lord was a little confused, but still told Zhang Xing Yu about Odilia's specific energy gains.
“Let me see… when she learned the first skill, she gained 10 energy, which is equivalent to what a normal player gains after dying once. As expected of Odilia… when she learned the second skill, she gained 8… 5 for the third… it seems like gaining skills continuously leads to a decrease in excitement… but that's easy to understand…” Through the detailed skill acquisition records, it was learned that Odilia's energy gain from learning skills would decrease over time, but the minimum would not be less than 5.
Furthermore, the highest energy gain wasn't when she learned the first skill, but when she learned 【Beginner Strong Power Accumulation Slash (++).】 She gained a total of 15 energy points, which was triggered by Odilia's Spirit Energy Body. It could be said that it was an unexpected advanced skill, and even better than what the instructor taught. Naturally, this made Odilia's excitement level explode!
Zhang Xing Yu calculated that Odilia had contributed a total of 48 energy points due to skill acquisition. Of course, energy gain wasn't just during skill acquisition, there were also other circumstances, such as realizing that the skill was very powerful during practice and excitedly trying it out several times, etc.… Considering these, Odilia had gained a total of 60 energy points.
So, where did the remaining 40 energy points come from?
Surprisingly, it was when Odilia showed off to Zhang Xing Yu!
Just because of one show-off, she gained 40 energy points from Odilia!
“This is considered the feeling of satisfaction after successfully showing off…” Zhang Xing Yu muttered.
This is easy to understand, after all, making a fortune quietly is exciting, but if you can let others know that you've achieved success, it is undoubtedly more satisfying and enjoyable!
This is also the reason why online games are so popular.
In an online game, what are you trying to achieve by getting the highest-level equipment?
Why are some RMB players willing to spend a lot of money to buy high-level equipment?
Isn't it because they want to show off!
Now, Odilia showing off her acquired skills to Zhang Xing Yu can be said to be a successful “show-off” action.
“It seems, it's necessary to create a system that allows players to show off… hmm, a first kill leaderboard? That looks good, the top three can also get equipment and stuff, which would more easily ignite players' enthusiasm.” Zhang Xing Yu started thinking.
Zhang Xing Yu suddenly realized that it was necessary to make a huge update to the entire world, such as leaderboards, the training field instructor system, the friend system, etc.
Zhang Xing Yu told Nightmare Lord about her requirements, but after listening, Nightmare Lord said that because there were too many design changes, they needed to move everyone out of the Nightmare World first. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause problems.
Of course, Nightmare Lord didn't mind causing problems, even if people died, it didn't matter. But he knew Zhang Xing Yu's thoughts, so he made an additional explanation.
………………………………
After learning the skills, Odilia seemed eager to go hunt monsters. She directly pulled Zhang Xing Yu, who was still “daydreaming”, and left.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing Yu could only put the idea of “updating the system” aside for now and went hunting with Odilia.
A while later, the two left Starbase and came to the Ancient Tree Forest.
The Ancient Tree Forest is a very beautiful forest, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, as well as unseen animals and plants. Simply enjoying the scenery and playing in the forest would be enough for people to spend several days.
The creation of the Ancient Tree Forest was basically completed by Nightmare Lord. Originally, he could have created a more eerie and terrifying Death Forest to “harvest players”, but because of Zhang Xing Yu’s request—to create a realistic, beautiful forest with a complex ecosystem—Nightmare Lord modified and created it based on a forest in his original world, known as the “Endless Forest”.
According to Nightmare Lord, “Endless Forest” was the largest forest in his world, its area was larger than the largest human empire. It had all kinds of rare and exotic creatures inside, providing valuable resources for humans and other races.
Of course, the Endless Forest was also full of dangers. Various ferocious exotic beasts, powerful high-level lord monsters that could bring about natural disasters, and even elves and fairies who lived within the World Tree’s territory. If you rashly enter their territory, you may be attacked!
Humans have attacked the forest more than once, trying to make it their territory, even just a part of it. However, without exception, they all failed. Even in history, there were powerful empires that went to war against the Endless Forest, leading to the decline of their national strength, and eventually even their extinction!
What appeared before Zhang Xing Yu was an incredibly vast, beautiful, and fertile Ancient Tree Forest, but also one full of dangers.
Although there were already significant differences from the Ancient Tree Forest in the game, Zhang Xing Yu knew that this Ancient Tree Forest was more deserving of the name “Tree Forest” than the Ancient Tree Forest in the game!
