8-New Equipment and Skills




 After adjusting our gear, we headed back to the south gate.
 There were more people there than when I first arrived, but the south gate, the most difficult of the four, was still relatively empty.
 As I was fighting the Wolf while Rin was interacting with her fans, I could really feel the difference in equipment.

 Apparently, the weight of the weapon is factored into the damage calculation to some extent, so it can do more damage than the stated attack power.
 The weight of a wooden club and a metal metal rod are naturally very different.
 Both in terms of appearance and in terms of required muscle strength.
 It requires more skill to handle it, but I'm used to it, so that's not a problem.


'Hey!

 The wolf's HP was drained in an instant, and it turned into a polygon and disappeared in midair.
 The attack, which had required at least two shots, seemed to have been greatly strengthened just by raising the level and changing the weapon.

'Hahahahaha!

 The weight of the equipment felt good.
 The SP is easily reduced, but if you wait, it will recover.
 While thinking that even a moment of acceleration and deceleration would consume a small amount of SP, I grabbed the upper jaw of the wolf aiming for my neck from behind and slammed it into the wolf attacking me from the right.
 After compactly crushing the two frightened wolves like a whack-a-mole, I checked the displayed result and exhaled.

The next one is ......, I can see five of them over there.

 The wolves stopped appearing by themselves when I reached the far end of the plain, where I could see the Forest of the End.
 A pack consists of three to ten wolves. The more there are, the lower the rate of appearance.
 Even so, they do appear once in a while, and I got a little excited when ten of them attacked me at the same time.

 As I looked at the pack of wolves within arm's reach, I was thinking of hitting them with a stone to attract them, when Rin suddenly called out to me.

'Sukuna.

'Hmm, what is it?

'Are you having fun right now?

'...... Yes, it's fun!

 With a reply, I threw a rock into the mountains and it hit one of the Wolves hanging out about 30 meters away.

 Now that I've gotten the hate, I'm going to take them all out.
 A minute later, after watching the last one turn into a polygon, Rin and I started looking for our prey again.

'Oh, by the way, Nana, did you get the "Detect" skill?

 I think it's time for me to call myself a Wolf Slayer.
 As I was hunting for a pack of Wolves, Rin, who had been fighting against the distribution comments, spoke to me as if she had just remembered.

'Eh? I didn't get it.'

'When your level exceeds 10, your status will have more skill slots, right? There should be a guide displayed as well.

'Oh, I haven't opened the status properly since level 7.

 I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
 I did a quick check of the abilities when I was preparing my equipment, but I didn't look at the skills.

'Maybe this one.

 Tapping on the meaningfully flashing text that said 'You can select a skill', a far greater number of skills would be displayed than the list presented during the initial setup.

'Why do you need the 'Detect' skill?'

'Sukuna, according to the plan, tomorrow we'll be tackling the End Forest beyond the Southern Plains, right? The visibility in that forest is really bad anyway. And it's full of surprise attacks.''

'Like insects?

'More like snakes. They surprise you from the tree tops with poisonous attacks. That's why you should get the Detect skill. You can detect mimics and hiding monsters in the field, so it's a useful skill.



 I see, and I did as you said and got the "Detect" skill.

'It looks like you can choose one more. ...... Ah, the 《One-Handed Mace》 skill has been released!

'It's okay if you bury it. You have to set a skill to activate it, but once you've raised it, your proficiency won't drop, and you can change its configuration as many times as you like. But if you try to take too many skills, you'll neglect your proficiency, so you have to develop your own style.

'I see, so you can customize your skills instead of having too few slots. Are these skill slots going to increase in the future?

'One for every 10 levels up. You'll only get two at first, but from now on you'll get one at a time.

 In other words, the number of skill slots increased from two to four when you reached level 10. The next time you reach 20, you'll get one more.

 To be honest, I'm having a hard time gaining proficiency with even just the two weapons.
 I think it's true that if you increase your skills too much, you'll lose proficiency.
 I wonder what kind of skill structure Lin has, since she is probably much higher level and has more skills than me. .......

'Speaking of which, what level are you at now, Rin-chan?

'Me? 47.'

'......47?'

'Yeah. I don't think it'll take Sukuna more than two weeks.''

 Even though she was a top player, it was still a bit beyond my imagination.
 Could it be that you've been playing this game more than I thought?
 Because leveling up is something that gets harder and harder the higher you go.
 What do you mean you're averaging more than 3 a day ......?

'Hey, Rin. What's your highest level in this game?'

'Well? All I know for sure is that it's not 100. From the official PV, that is.'

 Most of the games I've played have had a maximum level of 100, but apparently this game is different.

 Now, I wonder how much leveling I'll have to do to make up the two-week gap between me and Rin.
 Even if I could finish leveling in less than two weeks, I'd still be further ahead in the meantime, right?
 The 'road to becoming a top player' that I've been put on by Rin might be even tougher than I imagined.

'Oh, I also have extra status points. You can save them, but it's a pain in the ass to have to spend them every time.

'It's fun to think through status builds like that, isn't it?

'I don't know. Let's just divide it into 10s for now.

'There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't agree with it. ......'

 I'll divide the points into 3 stats: Strength, Dexterity, and Agility.


 I know how much my body can move, but that's why it's still awkward compared to my real body.

 Until that awkwardness goes away, you'll need to keep improving your dexterity and agility.
 At the very least, I would like them to be at least as good as they are in reality.

 The reason I chose to focus on strength is not so much to increase firepower, but rather because strength is a major factor in the weight and equipment restrictions of armor.

 It's not that I want to make them heavily armored, but according to Rin, strong weapons like striking weapons require a lot of muscle power, and the same goes for armor for close combatants.
 The strength of the demon race is easily increased.
 On top of that, he thought that if he wanted to equip heavier and stronger weapons in the future, he would have to increase his own strength.

'What kind of status do you have at the moment?

'I've got strength, dexterity, and agility evenly distributed. I think dexterity has the highest percentage.
'Is it still awkward?

'A little better, I guess.

 Hearing my reply, Lin-chan muttered, 'It looks like we have a long way to go.

'Let's resume the hunt soon. We have two hours left, so even if we spend an hour on the way back, we should be able to hunt pretty well.
'I'd like to level up one more level, but I'm not sure.

'The number of players is increasing, and the amount of pop might be too much.

 Maybe it's because the level gap is getting bigger, but you can't get much experience hunting wolves anymore.

 We had a lot of fun, aiming for a big pack, using magic because Rin was bored, and so on.

I'm not sure what to make of this.
1: The nameless reincarnation people
This is the general thread for Rinne, a professional gamer and distributor for HEROES.
Basically, you can talk about anything you want, but anti-gaming is not recommended.


--.


442: The Nameless Reincarnator
I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

445: Nameless reincarnator
>>I think so.
I think so.
I didn't think she could move that much.
I don't know, maybe it's just her athleticism.

446: Nameless reincarnator
I think it's good.
HEROES itself is a big group, but they're too late for VR to attract people, right?
I'm just thankful that Linnea was able to get some promising people to help her out.

448: The Nameless Reincarnator
The VR division itself is so broad.
The VR division itself is very broad, and even if Nana had one connection, it still wouldn't be enough.
She seems to be an all-rounder and could be the ace of the VR division.



450: The nameless circle people
>>448.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
In fact, VR has a wide range of games, including gaming, FPS, robotics, and RPGs.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

451: nameless reincarnation people
>>I'm not sure what to make of that.
So you're saying you're not used to VR?
That's even more of a monster.
What will happen if I get used to VR?

453: The Nameless Reincarnator
I love you!

454: Nameless reincarnation people
I know what you mean.

458: Nameless Reincarnator
I don't think I've ever seen such a thing.

460: Nameless reincarnation people
>>458: I know.
I'm not sure.
If you're a beginner, you're going to respawn immediately if you're surrounded by a few Wolves.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

462: The Nameless Reincarnation People
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

465: Nameless Reincarnation People
I'm not sure what to make of this.
I'm looking forward to Nana's solo delivery tomorrow.

469: The nameless reincarnator
>>465
I don't know.

471: Nameless reincarnation people
>>469
A video site
There's a certified account.
I'm pretty sure that Linnea and the official "HEROES" are following it.

475: Nameless reincarnation people
>>471
I'll check it out.
Thank you.


I'm not sure.


[Striking] Nana/Sukuna General Thread 1 [Demon Girl
1: No Name Fan


This is the general thread for Nana or Sukuna, who has been announced as a member of "Heroes" and has finally been unveiled.
Let's discuss as peacefully as possible.

2: A nameless fan
>>1
I knew it!

3: Nameless fan
>>1 B
It was NG until the distribution ended.

4: Nameless fan
>>1 B
That was amazing.
The bravery of rampaging around with just a club...

7: Nameless fan
After all, it was on air for a full 10 hours. ......

9: Nameless Fan
The second half of the leveling seemed like a lot of fun.
Like a fierce beast unchained.

11: A nameless fan
>>9
How do you say that?
Well, he did look like he was having fun.

14: A nameless fan
It was amazing to see him smash the skull with precision from any position.

16: A nameless fan
>>14: No Name Fan
That was awesome!
And most of the equipment was made of iron.
It's hard to get iron equipment that weighs so much that you can only get two parts in the beginning.
I think the demon race makes up for it with their stats.
It's interesting to see such a sharp race.

18: A nameless fan
>>16
I think the magic stats are devastating.
I don't know.

I can't use magic, but I make up for it with throwing.
The weapon of choice is an easy to use club.
He may not be the smartest guy in the world, but he's a reasonable guy.

21: A nameless fan
I can't believe I'm not smarter than that.
Maybe that's where Rinne got the idea.

22: A nameless fan


About five years ago, Rinne leaked some information to me in a live broadcast.
I'm sure you've heard of it.
In terms of knowledge, I'd say .......

24: A nameless fan
>>22
Privacy!
I mean, how can you remember something from five years ago?
It's amazing that a girl can be a freelancer with a junior high school education nowadays.

28: A nameless fan
Oh, I found Nana's official-looking lifers account.

29: A nameless fan
Seriously?
HEROES work is great!

31: Nameless Fan
There it is!
I'm laughing that Rinne is following you before the official one.

33: A nameless fan
It seems like they're best friends, the one and only.
He's always smiling when he's with the rest of the Heroes, but Rinne next to Nana has never looked so relaxed.
I had an unintentional crush on her.

36: A nameless fan
>>33
I wonder if she'll get into a fight at HEROES soon.
There's a lot of Linneskies there.

40: A nameless fan
It's going to be a battle of flesh and bone.

46: A nameless fan
Tomorrow, I'll be streaming the exploration of the forest at the end of the day after 6:00 a.m. By Nana
Yes!

48: A nameless fan
>>46
Isn't 6 a.m. too early for you? ...... Even though it's a holiday, ......

49: A nameless fan
>>46
I'll definitely watch it.
Good night.

51: A nameless fan
>>46
It's a bold move to start on the second day.
I'm looking forward to it.


--I'm looking forward to it.
