"Just figure it out."
Luo Xiu left.
Old White sat in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.
The image of a tall, imposing man appeared in his mind, with a bespectacled child following closely beside him.
The child asked in confusion:
"Teacher, I don't understand. Sacrificing a portion of the people is the most rational choice."
The figure crouched down and spoke softly to him:
“————————————”
Old White couldn't hear those words anymore.
He buried those words for far too long; they can no longer be dug up.
"teacher……"
Old White murmured.
the other side,
Luo Xiu walked down the road, his expression one of great excitement.
He came up with a way to break the deadlock, a brilliant way to break the deadlock.
He wants to control his own destiny and will never hand it over to someone else.
Chapter 36 Hunting Hill
Luo Xiu excitedly wrote down the steps of his plan in his small notebook.
He then checked his attribute panel.
Name: Luo Xiu
【Strength: 88】
[Agility: 25]
[Physique: 30]
【Magic Power: 30】
[Mental Resistance: 6]
[Points available: 30]
【技能：初级治愈术 LV. 3（15/50）扬尘 LV. 2（0/10）审视 LV.2（0/10）奴役LV.2（0/10）】
There's not much to say about attribute points.
Aside from mental resistance, all other attributes surpass the level of a second-tier character, with strength exceeding that of a third-tier goblin priest.
Luo Xiu was concerned with skills.
He has always focused on allocating attribute points, since skill points can be converted and added using the same type of skill.
But now he faces a situation where he has already learned all the skills in the same direction that can be bought from the Adventurers' Guild.
In other words, if he wants to upgrade his skills during this period, he can only do so by consuming available skill points.
Currently, there is no source of points for adding points.
The goblins had already noticed his presence, and he had even wiped out a small settlement of theirs. To venture into goblin territory again would be extremely dangerous.
It's even less likely to be the slimes; the siege hasn't even started yet, and going there would just be suicide.
I've already killed several people before, so there's no point in adding any more skill points.
This also means that, for the time being, the 30 points he currently has will be his last points.
It must be allocated carefully.
If you were to allocate those 30 points to attribute points, the best choice would definitely be to put them all into Strength.
But Luo Xiu was very skeptical.
Is 30 points of strength really enough to deal with a fourth-tier slime?
Not to mention that a few more points need to be allocated to Agile.
He focused his attention on his skills.
[Next Level LV.4 Basic Healing Spell: Effect Amplification: Casting range increased by 100 meters, targets increased by 4. Improved from being able to neutralize common poisons to being able to neutralize the vast majority of poisons.]
[Next Level LV.3 Dust: New effect: Can isolate the hearing of targets in dust]
[Next Level LV.3 Review: New effect: For targets of level 7 and below, their mental and emotional states can be reviewed.]
[Next Level LV.3 Enslavement: New effect: In addition to your master's retinue, you can choose one slave as your subordinate. The subordinate will receive a certain boost as your own strength increases (the boost rate is lower than that of the master's retinue). The subordinate cannot betray you or your master's retinue.]
Luo Xiu looked at the skill descriptions of the four skills.
I haven't compared them carefully before.
He now realized that the effect of each upgrade to the two general skills, Examine and Enslavement, increased by a much larger percentage than that of ordinary professional skills.
What's the reason for this? Is it because general skills are relatively rare?
Luo Xiu thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
When it comes to allocating skill points, the basic healing spell is definitely out of the question.
This skill upgrade requires 35 points, and Luo Xiu currently only has 30 points.
The remaining three skills were all very tempting to Luo Xiu.
He had an urge to upgrade all three skills to level 3 in one go.
But in the end, I forced myself to hold back.
He took out his notebook and read through the plan.
It was revised and improved again.
Ultimately, 10 points were added to both [Examination] and [Slavery].
As the system notification sounded, both skills were upgraded.
Luo Xiu's pupils contracted as he looked at the new panel.
【审视 LV.3（0/100）奴役LV.3（0/100）】
It's not 50 points.
The next upgrade for these two general skill books will require a whopping 100 points!
Of course, their next upgrade will also be incredibly powerful.
LV.4 Review is able to quantify the combat power of targets that are one level or less higher than oneself.
LV.4 Enslavement allows you to add another follower and gain access to their stats.
But 100 points is really too much.
Luo Xiu even wondered if the next upgrade would require 1000 points.
But he quickly shook his head and smiled.
There's no point in thinking about these things now; let's focus on solving the immediate problem first.
After completing the skill upgrade, Luo Xiu did not choose to go home directly.
Instead, they seemed to wander aimlessly along various side roads throughout the town.
He would occasionally pause outside the restaurant, opening his "Survey" device to scan the nobles dining inside through the glass windows.
Watching it with gusto.
The nobles in the restaurant thought he was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and they called their servants to teach Luo Xiu a lesson.
Luo Xiu didn't get into a conflict with them; he just watched and then left.
After watching it five or six times, Luo Xiu figured out the new effect of [Examine].
He can now display two states of the other party on the panel after he starts reviewing.
Emotional states include: happiness, anger, sadness, etc.
Mental states can be categorized as: chaotic, unstable, stable, extremely stable, etc.
Of course, he wasn't just looking at the restaurant to test the effectiveness of his inspection skills.
More importantly, it is for...
Find someone.
This is also the first step in his plan!
Luo Xiu stood outside a tavern that had been converted into a shooting range, pressing his face against the glass window.
Inside, there was an elf wearing a high-slit white dress that revealed her long, slender legs, drawing her bow and shooting an arrow.
Opposite the elf was a person who was bound hand and foot; Luo Xiu had no recollection of his appearance.
The man was tied to a turntable, with a pheasant's tail feather stuck in his head.
As the wheel began to spin slowly, the elf drew the bowstring again and again.
Green light arrows rained down, each one accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, striking the pheasant tail feathers on the head of the bound man time and time again.
Each time she hit her target, the nobles sitting behind her would burst into applause.
He fired eight arrows in succession.
call out--
The ninth arrow struck the bound man squarely in the heart.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The elf slowly turned around, his expression cold, and bowed to the nobles.
