[Class: Death Sovereign] (Exclusive Hidden Class)
[Catastrophic Properties]
1.All skill effects are doubled.
2.Level insufficient, not unlocked.
3.Level insufficient, not unlocked.
The catastrophic properties essentially added three additional modifiers to Jack Miller's class.
Although only one had been unlocked so far, it was already terrifying enough.
All skill effects doubled - what did that mean?
Jack Miller couldn't wait to test his strength.
Though he could still upgrade his existing skills once without cost, Jack Miller planned to do this step after leaving the village entrance.
After all, he was far from invincible right now, and there was no need to expose too much in public.
Thinking this, Jack Miller waved his Practice Bone Staff and released his skill.
[Summon Lesser Skeleton]
The next moment, a pale gray vortex suddenly appeared beside Jack Miller.
Then, two five-foot-tall skeletons walked out of the vortex side by side.
"Click... click..."
Soul fire flickered weakly in the eye sockets of the two skeletons as they stood quietly on either side of Jack Miller.
Being an F-rank skill, the summoned skeletons weren't particularly strong, with stark white bones showing numerous cracks.
Even the iron swords in their hands were rusty and full of notches.
Jack Miller even suspected these two might fall apart at any moment.
However, as the saying goes, appearances can be deceiving. While the design might look impressive, what really mattered were the attributes.
"0.75 seconds."
After checking the casting time just now, Jack Miller roughly understood the doubling effect of the catastrophic properties.
The summon quantity doubled, and the original three-second casting time was reduced by 50% after [Summon Enhancement]'s 50% reduction.
"Wonder if the attributes will double too?"
Jack Miller focused his thoughts and opened the Lesser Skeleton's attribute panel.
[Lesser Skeleton]
[Strength: 20]
[Constitution: 20]
[Agility: 20]
[Spirit: 20]
[Health: 200/200]
[Attack Power: 20]
[Physical Defense: 10]
[Skills: None]
(The lowest-tier Lesser Skeleton, after enhancement, barely qualified to become a skeleton warrior.)
Both Lesser Skeletons had identical attributes, embodying a simple word - strong.
Originally, with Jack Miller's Spirit attribute of 10 points, the summoned Lesser Skeleton should only have 5 points in all four attributes.
With such attributes, except for lacking class bonuses and skills, they were already comparable to ordinary players.
Now, under the double boost of [Summon Enhancement] and catastrophic properties, the two Lesser Skeletons' attributes had quadrupled!
Even more terrifying was that Jack Miller could continue summoning such Lesser Skeletons whenever the skill cooled down.
His current Summon Space could simultaneously maintain ten Lesser Skeletons!
Forming a legion of the dead was within reach.
"Hey buddy, your talent must be at least A-tier, right?"
A voice came through, making Jack Miller slightly startled as he turned to look.
He saw a Warrior player walking over with a longsword, his gaze fixed on the two skeletons, deep in thought.
"Yeah, A-tier enhanced summons."
Jack Miller smiled slightly, glancing at the other's ID: Night Wanderer.
The Multiverse Game had just launched, and almost no one could hide their ID yet.
His summoned skeletons weren't just greater in number by one, but also larger than other Undead Mages' summons.
It was normal for people to notice.
"Want to team up and level together? I also have an A-tier talent, we'd definitely level faster together."
Night Wanderer raised his longsword, extending a team invitation to Jack Miller.
Not just him, many people had gathered at the village entrance now, all looking for teams.
Although the starter village was meant for players to adapt to the game, the monsters here weren't simple at all.
Even the lowest-level Ground Chicken at the village entrance had enough power to kill a single player.
[Ground Chicken]
[Level 1]
[Health: 100/100]
[Attack Power: 10]
[Physical Defense: 5]
[Magic Defense: 5]
(Surely no one could lose to a chicken?)
In just over ten seconds, Jack Miller saw dozens of white flashes outside.
Apparently, some people really couldn't beat the Ground Chicken.
Without exploiting the bug, one attack from this thing could kill Jack Miller ten times over.
But now it posed absolutely no challenge to him.
Declining Night Wanderer's team invitation, Jack Miller focused his thoughts and, under the guard of his two Lesser Skeletons, walked out of the starter village.
Combat filled the surroundings, with players going all out against the Ground Chickens.
Jack Miller also noticed the Lesser Skeletons summoned by normal Undead Mages were only about four feet tall, proper little dwarfs.
"Damn, why did I choose a tank class, these damn chickens peck so hard!"
"Stop complaining and just kill the chicken."
"Damn it, this chicken's attack power is higher than mine."
"Sigh, level 0 players aren't even as strong as level 1 chickens!"
"I'm done, I'm going back to village to see if there are any life skills, whoever wants to fight these can have at it!"
"Look at that Nightwhite, why are his summoned skeletons so much taller than mine?"
"Must have awakened a good talent, another day of envying the lucky ones."
==
Jack Miller ignored the crowd's discussions. The Ground Chickens near the village entrance all had attack targets, and he had no intention of stealing monsters. He directly controlled his skeletons to head toward the distance.
After going through so much trouble to exploit such a big bug, who would still fight level 1 monsters?
The game had a built-in minimap that players could bring up anytime, floating transparently in the upper right corner of their view.
Following the map, Jack Miller quickly left the Ground Chicken territory and arrived at the level 2 monster area.
[Red-Eyed Rabbit]
[Level 2]
[Health: 150/150]
[Attack Power: 15]
[Physical Defense: 7]
[Magic Defense: 7]
(Watch out for it jumping up to hit your privates.)
There were far fewer players here.
At this stage, those who dared to farm monsters here were either players who had awakened A-tier or higher talents, or some already-formed small teams.
Perhaps it was also because of the Red-Eyed Rabbits' tendency to target privates.
Jack Miller had already seen two tank players curled up on the ground after being hit.
The Multiverse Game was a real world, naturally with 100% pain sensation.
Just watching made him draw in a cold breath.
No man was immune to fear of such attacks.
"Fortunately, I don't have to fight personally."
His mouth twitching, Jack Miller continued advancing while controlling his two Lesser Skeletons to start clearing monsters.
With the player army gone, he would inevitably attract some Red-Eyed Rabbits while trying to enter higher-level maps.
The Multiverse Game had no concept of non-aggressive monsters - once outside the village, all wild monsters were hostile.
Especially those Red-Eyed Rabbits' gazes fixed dead on players' privates, truly making one's scalp tingle.
However, the Lesser Skeletons had no privates to worry about, fearlessly raising their rusty iron swords and charging straight at the Red-Eyed Rabbits.
-13
-15
A Red-Eyed Rabbit cried out in pain, howling as it suddenly rammed into one of the Lesser Skeletons.
-11
The Lesser Skeleton naturally felt no pain, mechanically swinging its sword in counterattack.
Against such low-level monsters, Jack Miller saw no need to carefully control the skeletons' positioning.
No, he should say he would never need to.
What was the point of technique?
Wasn't it better to just overwhelm with both quantity and quality?
Now far from the starter village, Jack Miller raised an eyebrow and once again waved his bone staff.
