ALL NOVEL Chapter 11 Improving Efficiency
The next day.
The circus is bidding farewell to the city that saw the birth of a new fire-breather.
Before the convoy set off, Xia Zuo carried his pharmaceutical suitcase to the third carriage.
Originally, he wanted Audrey to keep it, but there were too many things on the first carriage and there was no room at all.
Then it can only be put together with Vers' suitcase.
The shapes of the suitcases of the two people are different, so there will be no confusion. Xia Zuo's is new, and Fars's is older, and the lock cores of the two are also different.
He handed the keys to Audrey and took "Essentials of Fire Breathing Training" with him to read in the car.
Yesterday I spent a whole day practicing breathing fire with Audrey. Although the taste of the fire-breathing potion is bitter, I can tolerate it, and I also learned some very simple alchemical operations.
When you hold Audrey's mixed fire-breathing potion in your mouth, you will enter a state of continuous blood deduction, and the amount of blood deducted and the amount of blood returned are exactly the same.
For Xia Zuo, apart from numbness in his mouth and wanting to drink water, there was no other impact.
Once you successfully breathe fire, you can gain a lot of experience!
"Complete 1 fire breathing training, lasting 2 seconds, and gain 0.002 experience points."
Calculated based on the calculation that 0.001 experience points are given per second. If you breathe fire for a thousand seconds, you can get 1 experience point.
If this person can spit out three-meter-long flames in the future, how much experience will he be given?
In addition to the reward of performing fire breathing for the audience...
Tsk tsk tsk~ Xia Zuo sat on the floor of the carriage and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, little guy, you're in a good mood." Roommate Hercules Poppai looked at each other happily.
As the carriage started moving, both of their bodies leaned back at the same time, then recovered in the next second.
"I think I'm very suitable for fire-breathing performances. I can already breathe fire, although it doesn't last long."
Xia Zuo smiled slightly and took out a miniature elastic ball to exercise his strength.
After using this little thing to gain 1 point of strength, you have to complete 1 million training times to get the next 1 point. The number of training times has increased tenfold, and the upgrade experience you can obtain has also been reduced by 50%, totaling only 5 points.
Qiao also took out his own bouncy ball, "Hey, with the big sister helping to train fire breathing, you will definitely be as good as Vails."
Two figures, one large and one small, were holding elastic balls in the car, their bodies swaying with the bumps in the car.
…
Two months later.
The circus enters the southern part of the Rossak province.
Xia Zuo's destroyed hometown is a little further south, close to the border of the kingdom.
This area has been unstable since the rogue bandits invaded this area.
In the hotels passing by, one can often hear rumors that a certain village was looted and burned to rubble.
The circus stopped at the fortress of Piek in the southern province of Rosak.
This is the midpoint of this round's journey plan, the turning point.
The eldest sister does not plan to go further south to avoid running into the bandits. After performing in this fortress, the circus will go north and return to Rosak City via another route.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of arrival, a happy event would happen, completely disrupting the trip plan.
Piek Fortress is both a city and a military fortress. In addition to normal people, there are also troops stationed here.
Rogue bandits were raging in the guarded area of Piek Castle. The army was running around to rescue and eliminate the bandits. The soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally and were in urgent need of some performances to boost their morale.
The arrival of Audrey Circus just solved the urgent need of the fortress commander.
When the eldest sister came back from the fortress, she announced the good news with a smile:
The circus accepted the invitation of the fortress commander and will stay in Pijek for about a month to perform for the soldiers who return to the fortress to rest!
This is a very reliable big deal! There is no reason not to accept it.
Piek Fortress is not the private property of the commander. Like Rosak City, it is a city under the name of Rosak Council.
The cost of the circus' performance here is directly allocated by the Rossak Council instead of being paid by the commander of the fortress out of his own pocket.
Absolutely no default.
The eldest sister guessed that as long as the performance was good and the morale of the soldiers was improved, there might be additional rewards from the fortress commander.
This guess is well founded.
The commander of the fortress not only placed a large order for the military, but also used his own money to do something that was very popular with the people.
Audrey came back with a pocket full of coins.
The commander of Piek Fortress is a kind, generous and caring Lord.
He took out a sum of money to book all the circus performances in Fountain Square, and invited the residents of the fortress to watch the performances.
In the next six days, any resident can line up to go to the circus to watch the performance, and the order on the scene will be maintained by the guards.
When Xia Zuo took the heavy bag and returned to the room to count the coins and keep accounts...
His heart and hands... were trembling. It's not because the money is too much
But...
This, this, this, this, such a large amount of money, actually gave me no experience at all.
The money from Qingqing's ticket sales must be taken from his customers to be counted.
The 10 silver coins and hundreds of copper coins brought back by the eldest sister are equivalent to about 14 experience points.
Xia Zuo didn't get even a dime of experience. Take another look at the information on the character template:
【Level】LV.5
【Experience】0.9/200
I just upgraded to level 1 a few days ago.
It takes 200 experience points to upgrade from level 5 to level 6, which is four times as much as it takes to upgrade from level 4 to level 5.
Mao estimated that under normal circumstances, it would take about five or six performances before he could be upgraded to level 1, and the next upgrade would be three months later.
This time, the circus will be stationed in the fortress for a month, and the circus will perform for civilians and soldiers.
The fortress commander paid out the money of the civilians.
The soldiers' money was paid out by the Rossak Council.
…These two waves of income were given wonderfully, and I didn’t get even a single point of experience.
Without the experience brought by the ticket income, the efficiency of gaining experience in the next month will be extremely inefficient by just relying on the income from reading books, doing odd jobs, and training fire breathers.
After Xia Zuo wrote down the account, he did not send it to his eldest sister immediately. Instead, he sat at his desk and fell into deep thought, thinking about whether to go on stage in advance.
In the past two months, he has been exploring the fire-breathing method that suits him, hoping for a stable and safe upgrade.
Goldfinger calculates experience based on two dimensions: the duration of the fire breath and the size of the flame.
A flame as long as two fingers can gain 0.001 experience points every second.
The success rate now has reached 100%. With a mouthful of fire-breathing potion in your mouth, you can continue to spray it for about 20 seconds.
A small flame 0.5 meters long can gain 0.002 experience points every 1 second.
The speed of air delivery is faster, and it can only be sprayed for 5 to 7 seconds in one breath. Occasionally it will be interrupted by choking or other accidents, and the success rate is over 90%.
For medium flames exceeding 1 meter, Xia Zuo's success rate is very low, mainly due to insufficient lung capacity, making it difficult to maintain the length of the flame above 1 meter. He can gain 0.003 experience points every second.
Vers can maintain a 3-meter-long fireball for nearly 10 seconds. In addition to the help of hard training on lung capacity and fire-breathing chemicals, he relies more on breathing techniques.
In the fire-breathing class, the eldest sister told everything about the breathing method without reservation.
18-year-old adults, regardless of gender, can receive tasks from the Warrior Guild and use the points awarded for completing tasks to redeem breathing techniques training courses.
The task with the lowest threshold is to join the army.
Almost all the soldiers in Piek Fortress came here to complete their mission.
After completing the mission, the vast majority of soldiers will not use their points to exchange for breathing exercises training courses, but exchange them for a well-paid job, or exchange them for military rank rewards, and continue to work hard in the army.
Only a few people would spend points on extremely unstable breathing techniques.
When anyone practices the breathing method for the first time, they can use auxiliary medicine to randomly and permanently strengthen a certain part of the body with a very small probability, at the cost of irreversible non-malignant mutations in another part.
This process is called potential development, or potential tapping.
Regardless of whether random enhancements and mutations are triggered, the physical fitness of all practitioners will be improved in an all-round way.
People who trigger random enhancements will be able to use the enhanced body parts smoothly as long as they run the breathing method in the future. The faster they run, the more obvious the strengthening effect will be.
At the cost of darkening his skin, the snake dancer Snake was randomly given a special vocal part that allows him to communicate with snakes.
The clown brothers and sisters gained a very good sense of physical balance at the expense of being overly excited.
Hercules Poppy trades his poor brains for muscle strength.
Audrey was lucky enough to gain extraordinary eyesight, at the cost of changing from her original slim figure to her current plump figure.
In a sense, as long as she likes her current body shape, there is actually no price to pay...
Vers was originally not allowed to become a fire breather.
When he used breathing methods to develop his body's potential, he gained control over his lungs at the expense of losing most of his expressive functions.
Only in this way can all the air stored in the body be expelled, and one can embark on the path of a fire-breather.
The bald head and lack of beard are just the aftermath of a training accident.
The pros and cons of breathing techniques don’t end there.
The first time you use the breathing method to tap your potential, it will cause permanent physical damage and leave hidden wounds that are difficult to heal.
When the enhanced ability is used in the running breathing method, the mutated parts will not mutate again, but it will aggravate the hidden damage in the body and affect the user's lifespan.
Therefore, there is the existence of body repair potion.
Each bottle costs 200 copper coins and the effect lasts for 30 days. Not only can it repair hidden injuries to the body, but it can also reduce the life-span-destroying effects caused by breathing exercises.
It's cheap and lasts a long time.
This potion was developed by the Warriors Guild, specifically for the benefit of breathing method practitioners.
For Xia Zuo, who has just turned 15, the breathing method is something that can only be practiced after he becomes an adult at the age of 18, and he still has three years to practice it.
Right now there is only one way to improve the efficiency of experience acquisition in a short period of time!
If you want to bypass the long process of exercising your lung capacity and directly breath out a 1-meter-long flame stably, you can only start with the fire-breathing potion.
Like Viles, add a red potion that will fuel the fire.
Xia Zuo found the instructions for this potion while reading "Essentials of Breathing Fire Training".
"Fire solvent can increase the power of fire. After mixing this solvent with fire-breathing agent, each drop can increase the power of fire by 20% and the toxicity by 20%."
Xia Zuo did a simple calculation.
He is currently using Audrey's weak-efficacy mixed fire-breathing agent, which is a mixture of fire-retardant oil and weak-efficacy fire-breathing agent. Holding it in the mouth for 3 seconds can form a fire-proof layer to protect the safety of the mouth.
When keeping the mouth in the mouth, 3 blood points will be deducted every hour, and you can stably spit out flames.
During training, fire breathing and resting are carried out alternately, and the actual blood deduction speed is about 1 o'clock per hour.
When performing on stage, the number of times the potion is taken in is less and the holding time is shorter. Basically, it will be spit out within 10 seconds. The actual blood deduction speed is about 0.5 points per hour.
If you want the flame length to reach 0.5 meters, you need to add 5 drops of fire solvent. The flame power will be doubled, and the blood deduction speed will also be doubled.
In other words, the blood deduction speed during the performance will reach 1 point per hour.
【HP】20/20 (health)
There is only blood volume on the character template, but no blood recovery speed.
Xia Zuo estimated that the blood recovery rate would be about 0.8 per hour when eating and drinking enough, and the blood recovery rate would double when sleeping.
The current vitality is 4 points.
He asked Goldfinger in his mind how the blood recovery speed was calculated, and received only silence as an answer.
However, this does not trouble him.
Simply combining 4 points of vitality with the blood recovery speed of 0.8 points/hour, we get an inaccurate conclusion:
Adding 1 point of vitality can increase the blood recovery speed by about 0.18 points/hour, reaching 0.98 points/hour.
If you want the blood recovery to offset the blood deduction for holding the fire-breathing potion, add at least 1 point of vitality.
Xia Zuo calculated it again and confirmed that there was no problem.
He focused his attention on the plus sign next to the vitality attribute and clicked on it with his mind.
[Vitality] 4+1→5 points.
【HP】22/20+2→22.
