Conquer the game world

Chapter 59 Future Planning
Although Ye Feng encountered many magical beasts along the way with Gui Liao, fortunately, under Gui Liao's intimidating effect, these magical beasts all retreated far away and did not dare to come up.

This was all thanks to the fact that Ye Feng and his group hadn't ventured too deep into the Monster Forest. Most of the monsters there were still only at the Spiritual level, and they didn't dare to come up and cause trouble when faced with the Ghost Fang, which was already at the Spiritual level.

The journey back was much easier with Gui Liao's escort. If it weren't for Gui Liao's protection, Ye Feng and his companion, one seriously injured and the other unconscious, would have certainly died if they hadn't been surrounded by the monsters.

Soon Ye Feng led Bei Linhan back to the Blackwater Pond on the outskirts of the Monster Forest.

"Let's rest here for a while." Ye Feng directed the Ghost Fang to stop at the edge of the Blackwater Pond.

Bei Linhan's injuries seem to have improved somewhat, and it appears that she is not in any life-threatening danger. However, she has not yet woken up, and Ye Feng has no choice but to wait for Bei Linhan to regain consciousness on her own.

Ye Feng swaggered down to rest by the Blackwater Pond. The Hydra inside wisely refrained from causing trouble again, presumably because the Ghost Fang nearby made the Hydra sense danger.

"Oh right, I haven't had a chance to consume the Purple Mother Lotus yet." Upon arriving at Blackwater Pond again, Ye Feng recalled what had happened before. He had just picked the Purple Mother Lotus and hadn't had a chance to consume it when he was ambushed and forced to flee.

"Damn it, one-eyed, huh? I'll make sure you get what's coming to you when I get back." Thinking about what had happened before, Ye Feng's anger flared up again.

Ye Feng randomly picked a Purple Mother Lotus and ate it. He didn't feel any improvement in comprehension as Bei Linhan had mentioned. Ye Feng didn't need to cultivate anyway, but eating the Purple Mother Lotus did increase his experience quite a bit.

After eating one plant, Ye Feng, out of curiosity, ate several more, but after eating the subsequent Purple Mother Lotus plants, he no longer gained experience points.

"It seems that it is only effective the first time you take it." Since it no longer increases experience, Ye Feng lost interest in the Purple Mother Lotus. "This battle exposed many of my problems. First of all, my level is not high enough, and my speed is not fast enough." He casually found a place to sit down and began to summarize some of the problems in this battle.

As a high-level player, it is essential to regularly summarize the strengths and weaknesses of your gameplay. Mastering every detail is a prerequisite for becoming a master.

“Take the time when four people are attacking me, for example. Many times my mind can react, but my body can’t.”

Recalling the battle just now, when surrounded by four people, Ye Feng was able to dodge quite often, but when the attacks were dense, Ye Feng sometimes had no way to dodge and could only use skills to break the moves or try to minimize the damage he took to neutralize the attacks.

"If my level were a little higher and my reaction speed could keep up, those four wouldn't be able to hurt me at all," Ye Feng thought to himself. "Many times I can react in time and think of the perfect dodge angle, but my speed is still too slow, and I simply can't dodge to that position in time."

Ye Feng's physical speed is too slow, ultimately because his level is not high enough. As his level increases, Ye Feng's physical attributes will also improve, and his speed will increase accordingly.

"Leveling up is still too slow. If I had been a higher level back then, it wouldn't have been so troublesome." Ye Feng finally concluded, "It seems that I spent too much experience on skills. If I had been a higher level back then, even if the skill damage was a little lower, I could still fight four people at the same time without getting hurt."

"Furthermore, there was a problem with my skill learning. I was too confident in myself in the past, always thinking that I wouldn't get hurt, and I didn't learn the healing spell." The healing spell is a mage's skill, and Ye Feng didn't learn it in order to maximize his output.

The game "General God" has a total of nine professions, plus auxiliary skills, so Ye Feng will use experience in many places.

The nine classes are Swordsman, Assassin, Knight, Warrior, Priest, Cleric, Mage, Archer, and Necromancer.

In the game, players can learn a new skill every five levels their character gains. In other words, Ye Feng can learn nine new skills before he gains five levels.

"Although I have many skills, some are flashy but impractical. It seems that pursuing faster leveling up is the right thing to do right now." After this battle, Ye Feng re-evaluated himself. Previously, Ye Feng not only learned all the offensive skills, but also leveled them up to a very high level.

Each time a player learns a new skill, they can continue to upgrade that skill using experience. Each level increase of the skill level will slightly improve its effect. For example, a damage skill will slightly increase its damage per level increase, and a control skill will slightly increase its control duration per level increase.

Ye Feng initially learned the necromancer's summoning skill, which allowed him to summon one more undead creature with each level he gained. Ye Feng had also mastered this skill to a high level, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to summon dozens of creatures at the same time to scout ahead during the battle with the Lion Clan.

As for his other skills, Ye Feng also upgraded them significantly. For example, he learned the trap skill to level 20 or higher, which made the damage and control very noticeable.

"Although upgrading skill levels seems great in the short term, it's not worth it in the long run." After this battle, Ye Feng realized that although his skills were powerful, they couldn't withstand being surrounded. If his skills were strong, he wouldn't be able to use them if he was attacked.

Therefore, ultimately, improving your level and physical abilities is more important. At a higher level, you can easily crush lower-level opponents even without using skills. Moreover, at higher levels, you can learn higher-level skills. The initial damage and effects of higher-level skills are definitely much stronger than those of lower-level skills. At that point, no matter how high you level up your lower-level skills, they will still be inferior to a newly learned higher-level skill.

"Before, I could grind dungeons to gain experience, and leveling up was quite fast compared to the other cultivators around me. I didn't encounter any danger, so I didn't feel like I was spending too much experience on skills," Ye Feng muttered. "Currently, I don't actually know many skills, mainly because there's no need to upgrade skill levels too high."

Ye Feng checked the skills he currently possessed:
Swordsman Skills: Sword Brilliance, Sword Thrusting (with knockback effect), Aerial Triple Strike, Sword Dance, Flaming Double Slash

Assassin Skills: Stealth, Assassination (can only be used while in stealth), Poison Strike (applies poison effect), Traps (Fire Trap, Electric Guardian)
Knight Skills: Flight, Shield
Mage skills: Fireball, Ice Bolt
Archer Skill: Piercing Mark (Tracking Arrow)

Necromancer skills: Necromancer Summoning, Bone Spear (for dealing with undead creatures)

"I've only learned six class skills so far. There are still three classes—Warrior, Priest, and Cleric—that I haven't learned at all. It seems that the experience consumption is really terrible," Ye Feng sighed. "Although the Swordsman skills are relatively high level at the beginning, it is actually the Flaming Twin Slash that I just learned recently that has the highest damage."

"In the future, try not to upgrade your skill level unless necessary. Use your experience to level up. Also, although you can get a new skill every five levels, it is better to learn a new skill every ten levels unless necessary."

After some reflection, Ye Feng formulated his future plans and the direction for learning new skills. This danger served as a reminder to Ye Feng that if he did not quickly correct his current mistaken attitude of haphazardly learning skills, things would only become more dangerous in the future.

Having made up his mind, Ye Feng also learned the level one priest skill, Healing Spell. This skill is only the most basic priest skill, and although the healing effect is not good, the experience cost is pitifully small. Ye Feng learned the level one without hesitation, so that he could at least use it to heal his injuries in the future.

Having learned the healing technique, Ye Feng now possessed some healing skills. If he were in the common world, Ye Feng would definitely be a legendary healer. At the same time, Ye Feng went to Bei Linhan's side to treat her injuries.

"Ding, please place your hand on the target." Ye Feng was about to use the healing spell on Bei Linhan when the system suddenly popped up a notification.

"This is such a rip-off!" Ye Feng was speechless at the suggestion. Ye Feng had always been a homebody since he was a child. He rarely even talked to girls, let alone did anything else. He had never even held a girl's hand.

Only then did Ye Feng truly and carefully observe the unconscious Bei Linhan. Her stunningly beautiful face and fiery figure were displayed before Ye Feng's eyes, and what was even more terrifying was that the girl was unconscious. This was simply an invitation to commit a crime.

Ye Feng quickly slapped himself to dispel the wicked thought of taking the beautiful woman in front of him right there and then. At the same time, blushing, Ye Feng took Bei Linhan's hand and said, "To be honest, if I were to put my hand on Bei Linhan, this is the only normal thing to do. Any other way would be an invitation to commit a crime."

"Huh, am I dead?" Before Ye Feng could use his healing spell, Bei Linhan suddenly woke up. At the same time, she saw Ye Feng holding her hand.

"Snapped"

Before Ye Feng could react, he was slapped across the face.

"What are you doing, you pervert?" Bei Linhan quickly pulled her hand away from Ye Feng's grasp, her face flushed as she angrily retorted.

"I'm innocent!" Ye Feng explained with a mournful face, "I was just checking on your injuries."

"Hmph, you think you know this stuff? Stop lying. You dare to do it but not admit it?" Belinhan said disbelievingly.

"Really? I'm a legendary doctor, you know that?" Ye Feng said shamelessly.

"Hey, why are you blushing?" Ye Feng noticed Bei Linhan's flushed face and asked curiously.

"It's none of your business!" Bei Linhan paused for a moment, then raised her hand to strike Ye Feng again.

"I'll dodge, hehe." Ye Feng quickly did a backflip to avoid the slap.

"I never expected Bei Linhan to be so beautiful." Ye Feng thought to himself as he looked at the blushing Bei Linhan.
