Mechanical Flesh

"For abilities below the fourth level, there is no qualitative change when one level is improved, but an increase in strength. You should be very clear about the ability to have multiple combat domains." Ling You said.

Qi Yuan nodded. There is indeed no essential change in his multiple abilities, from the first-level enhancement to the second-level enhancement. The same is true for the power of steel, the same for area detection, and the same for energy control.

"But the fourth level abilities are different!" Ling You said.

"Taking the Combat Domain as an example, there are Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 enhanced defenses, but it doesn't have Tier 4!"

"There is no fourth level of enhanced defense?" Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback.

According to the strengthening route of the talent tree, he originally thought that his abilities could be strengthened from the first level to the fourth, fifth, sixth, and even higher levels, but Ling You actually said that there is no fourth level of strengthening defense.

Will his steel defense be the same?

"It's not just strengthening the defense, most of the low-level abilities, the third level is the peak, and it can't be strengthened to the fourth level!"

"You mean, starting from the fourth level, what we need to face is another completely different ability system?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Yes, and no." Ling You said slowly.

"Fourth-level abilities can also be divided into real fourth-level and false fourth-level abilities. Some third-level abilities can continue to improve through special means, and can indeed touch the threshold of fourth-level abilities. This kind of ability is generally called false fourth-level. In fact, it is in the shelter. , Many fourth-order ability users are promoted to fourth-order through this method, they are stronger than third-order, but weaker than true fourth-order."

"In the Black Steel Shelter, the status of the pseudo-fourth rank is not even as good as those powerful peak third ranks."

"Compared to the fake fourth-order, the real fourth-order can be regarded as the real strong, because they have the core fourth-order ability! And there is the possibility of continuing to advance."

"Are Xu Yue and that wild hunter just now a fake fourth rank, or a real fourth rank?" Qi Yuan asked.

"They are all real fourth-order." Ling You said.

Really fourth rank!

Qi Yuan raised his brows. He originally thought that the two were fake fourth ranks, that's why they couldn't fight or escape, but he didn't expect that both of them were real fourth ranks.

"What is their core fourth-order ability?" Qi Yuan asked.

"The wild hunter who died in your hands, his core fourth-level ability should be a defense master! As for Xu Yue, it may be the wind language or the wind control."

Qi Yuan's eyes gradually brightened, master of defense! Wind Whispers! Harness the wind! The names of these abilities are obviously more compelling than strengthening defense and strengthening strength!

"If these core fourth-level powers are not promoted from the third level, then how are they generated?" Qi Yuan consciously brought in the role of a fan.

Ling You paused for a moment before giving the answer.

"Chimera resonance of multiple pre-capabilities!"

Pre-capability! Chimera! resonance!

So it is!

Qi Yuan suddenly understood.

This unexpected answer solved many mysteries in his heart.

After choosing Iron Defense, the gray light balls on the talent tree that symbolize various talents have disappeared by half in an instant. That choice has actually determined many things.

After making a choice for the first time, the promotion route has actually been fixed, and those abilities that disappear must be abilities that cannot fit with the steel defense.

Qi Yuan was a little surprised at the beginning, why did the talent tree decide to remove those abilities for himself, but now it seems that the talent tree has already paved the way for him to advance to the fourth level at the very beginning.

Judging from various signs, the road to advancing to Tier 4 will not be the same as before. It is very likely that the ability to directly strengthen from Tier 3 will be the same as other ability users. Finally, a brand new fourth-order ability is formed.

Ling You continued: "Taking the defense master as an example, to build such a core ability, five pre-capabilities are required, namely the third-level defense enhancement, the third-level strength enhancement, the third-level speed enhancement, the second-level or third-level parry, Revenge of the second or third order!"

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, and Ling You's explanation made him finally understand why there are so many third-tier hunters in the wilderness, but fourth-tier hunters are rare.

For most Tier 3 hunters, it is very difficult to get together five Tier 3 abilities, let alone five abilities that fit together.

"For many well-informed wild hunters, they may know that advancing to the fourth level requires multiple pre-abilities, but they must not know which pre-abilities fit with each other and can build a fourth-level ability. Coupled with the glory trial It needs to consume a lot of energy and star energy stones, so unless they get the help of the shelter, most of the third-level wild hunters will not be able to advance to the fourth level in their lifetime."

Qi Yuan nodded, the fourth step is a huge threshold, a threshold that almost completely separates the shelter from the wilderness.

"You have stepped into the third level now. I tell you these things in the hope that you will not awaken those messy abilities. Everyone's body has a certain limit to the carrying capacity. If you carry too many abilities that cannot be compatible with each other, you will It will directly affect your future advancement."

"Most of the ability users in the sanctuary have already started planning to advance to the fourth level at the first level. They will choose those ability awakenings that can resonate with each other, so that they will neither waste the carrying capacity of the body, nor because of some The lack of this kind of ability led to being blocked from the threshold of the fourth order."

Qi Yuan took a look at his own abilities. Most of them are from the Iron Man series. Judging from the names, these abilities should be highly compatible with each other, but he is not sure that these abilities are enough to advance to the fourth level.

If you didn't get this information from Ling You, wait until you have used up all the third-level talents you signed in, and raised these second-level abilities to the third level. Finally, after obtaining the pass to the fourth level, you will find that there is still a lack of certain necessary skills. If you can't build a fourth-order ability with your own third-order ability, that is the real tragedy!

In addition to these, another problem is - my talent is obviously different from others, and the information on building the fourth level ability in the shelter may not be useful to me.

When it's time to advance to Tier 4, the master talent tree should give me a hint! Qi Yuan thought silently.

Qi Yuan began to realize the value of the information Ling You revealed to him.

Not only can you avoid a lot of detours, but you can also avoid a lot of thunder. Although the talent tree will definitely not point you to a dead end, but you can make arrangements in advance, and you can also reduce a lot of trouble.

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Qi Yuan continued to ask:

"Since the conditions for advancing to Tier 4 are so harsh, are these pre-abilities completely fixed and irreplaceable? In addition, since the core mid-level abilities are composed of multiple pre-advanced low-level abilities, then different core abilities Ability, is there also a difference between strength and weakness?"

Ling You suddenly laughed. From Qi Yuan's questions, she felt Qi Yuan's confidence and ambition.

Only those who believe that they will inevitably step into the fourth level and awaken the core fourth level ability will care about these issues.

But since Qi Yuan asked, Ling You would not hide it. She also wanted to know how confident Qi Yuan had to resist the pressure of Ke Shoulin and Feng Gan, and dare to kill Ke Shoulin's black gloves without changing his face.

Qi Yuan's ability to quickly step into the fourth level means that he has the talent to step into the fourth level. If he can really step into the fourth level, he may be qualified to be his friend.

Winning over a third-rank Qi Yuan is far easier than attracting a fourth-rank Qi Yuan.

"The pre-capabilities of core mid-level abilities are not fixed. Many ability maps in Shelter are just the rules summed up by those pioneers who have successfully advanced in the process of exploration for many years. The construction of core abilities is risky and random. Replacing the front-end ability will greatly increase this danger. Behind every ability map, there are many corpses of losers buried, so unless necessary, never replace the front-end ability at will when advancing to the fourth level. The shelter will block These graphs are also based on this reason. The higher the level of ability, the more precious the corresponding ability graph is, even inside the shelter, you need enough contribution points to exchange."

"As for the strength of ability, there will indeed be some differences."

"Generally speaking, the more and stronger the pre-abilities, the stronger the core ability will be built in the end, but this rule is not absolute, and there are other factors that can also affect the strength of the core ability, such as the physical condition of the ability user. Basic strength, such as the fit between abilities, there will be differences in strength between different core abilities, and the same ability will also have strength differences in different people."

"The promotion method for ability users after the fourth level is also different from that of the low-level ones. Normally, you can advance to the fourth level after awakening one core ability, and you can advance to the fifth level after awakening the second core ability. Advance to Tier 6, as for the higher Tier 7, that is another level!"

Qi Yuan's heart moved, my basic ability almost suppressed other people's level, which means that the core ability they built will be stronger, and my ability is also quite a lot. If it is true as Ling You said, stepping into the four After the second level, my strength will definitely have an advantage in the fourth level.

In addition, since Tier 4 has only one core ability, is there only one check-in point for Tier 4?

wrong!

What Ling You said is usually, that is to say, there will be exceptions. If I have two core abilities at the fourth level, then am I at the fourth level? Or the fifth step?

Ling You's words opened an invisible door for Qi Yuan, and he learned many secrets about mid-level ability users that wilderness hunters would never be able to touch.

In addition to these news about core capabilities, Qi Yuan also keenly captured another piece of information from Ling You's words - contribution points!

The banknotes issued by the Gate of Truth are circulating in the wilderness. According to various sources, these banknotes also have a certain purchasing power in the shelter, but when it comes to those important and key things, there seems to be another independent currency in the shelter. System - Contribution Points.

I just don't know whether these contribution points are independent of each shelter, or whether they are independent of the behemoths such as the Gate of Truth, Doomsday Arms, Theological Society, and Flesh Alliance.

During this conversation, Qi Yuan got a glimpse of many fourth-order secrets, but he knew that these secrets must have been clearly marked.

"What do I need to do?" Qi Yuan asked directly.

Ling You glanced at Qi Yuan, and seemed very satisfied with Qi Yuan being so upbeat.

"Although you have stepped into the third level, it is still too weak for me."

In front of my face, dislike me for being weak?

You are such a clever little man! Qi Yuan said silently in his heart.

"When you step into the fourth level, or become a third-level researcher in the biological and mechanical research laboratory, come to me again. At that time, you are qualified to cooperate with me!" Ling You said.

After finishing speaking, Ling You drank tea by himself without further explanation.

Qi Yuan knew that this meant seeing off the guests, so he stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving Lingyou's residence, Qi Yuan returned to Master Qu's laboratory. Now that he and Ke Shoulin have completely broken each other, he can't go out for a while. If you step out of the steel chariot, you may die suddenly at any time.

Fortunately, the assessment is just around the corner. After passing the assessment, he will become a formal researcher in the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory. With an official identity as a talisman, he should be able to bring himself a certain ability to protect himself.

After completing the third-level sign-in, officially advancing to the fourth-level, or becoming a third-level researcher, I should be able to formally trade with Ling You, Tan Qiu and others. Ke Shoulin and Feng Gan will then target themselves, and they will have to weigh their efforts. What a price!

However, why hasn't the third-tier sign-in point appeared yet? The second-tier sign-in has been completed for so many days, and the third-tier sign-in point should also appear!

Just when Qi Yuan was puzzled, the familiar feedback suddenly appeared in his mind.

The check-in point of Tier 3 has been refreshed!

Qi Yuan was shocked, and sensed the locations of several check-in points, and found that, as he had guessed before, they were all concentrated in the direction of the Black Steel Shelter, and there was no wild wilderness check-in point.

This is where it gets interesting!

Thoughts flashed through Qi Yuan's mind. When the talent tree first appeared, he was deeply shocked, but he didn't have any idea what it was. It's just that with the changes in the old city, there is also a one-eyed strong man. Qi Yuan began to realize that something was wrong. This talent tree does not seem to be a pure golden finger, and there are other secrets behind it.

Since the old city, Qi Yuan has always wanted to find out the details of the talent tree. As for the biggest secret in himself, Qi Yuan has always wanted to figure out what kind of thing it is.

It's just that the talent tree is too mysterious, and has the magical power of a creator, so Qi Yuan doesn't know how to start.

Although he has not been able to spy on the roots of the talent tree, Qi Yuan has vaguely discovered some patterns of talent refreshment during the many check-ins.

The refresh of these check-in points is not completely mechanical, it seems to be able to keep up with its own state, and even refresh the check-in points according to the actual situation.

When the check-in points in the old city were refreshed, Qi Yuan had this kind of speculation.

The refresh of the check-in point seems to have its own wisdom. It will not allow you to complete the check-in easily, but it will not force people to a dead end. Angel also counts as his own strength, and those few check-ins were just more difficult, and they did not completely exceed the limit that he could handle.

The check-in point was once brushed in several special places. According to this guide, I successfully obtained a large number of star energy stones, awakened several powerful abilities, and at the same time controlled Seraphim.

To a certain extent, this is a kind of guidance from the talent tree for his awakening ability. Judging from the awakening method of the fourth-level abilities, these abilities are very likely to be the foreshadowing of the talent tree for his promotion to the fourth level.

This time the Tier 3 talent point was refreshed, the reason why I was ready to enter the Black Steel Shelter before the Tier 3 check-in point was refreshed was also an active test of the talent tree.

If the talent tree can really sense your own situation at any time and is willing to change for your own situation, then after you have made these preparations, the refresh of the check-in point should be limited to the Black Steel Shelter.

The refreshing of these third-order check-in points just confirmed Qi Yuan's guess, as he expected, they were refreshed in the Black Steel Shelter.

Although this may just be a probability event, Qi Yuan prefers that it is a kind of accommodation for him by the talent tree.

For Qi Yuan, a strong cheat who is willing to accommodate him is definitely more useful than a mechanical cheat.
