Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Chapter 3 God-level transfer to the mage class, Lord of Ice! The secret ring!

 “Panel.”

 Lu Cheng muttered silently.

 …

  【Name: Lu Cheng】

 【Level: 2 (Experience Value: 3/500)】

  【Occupation: Mage】

  【Health: 130/130】

  【Mana: 160/160】

ˆ【Strength: 6】

  【Agility: 6】

　　【Physique: 7】

  【Intelligence: 7】

  【Spirit: 10】

 【Free attribute points: 5 points】

  【Physical attack: 8, Magical attack: 9】

 【Skill: Fireball lv1 (Proficiency: 40/100)】

 【Talent: Endless Draining lv1 (Proficiency: 40/1000)

  Number of casts: 40

 Skill damage increase: 400]

 【Equipment: None】

 …

  Glancing at the properties panel.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

 Upgrading the improved attributes is very simple.

 10 points each for health and mana, 1 point each for five-dimensional attributes, and 1 point each for physical attack and spell attack.

 The most critical thing is these 5 free attribute points.

 In the early stages of a disaster, equipment and skills are scarce, and this is the most important means of improvement.

 For a mage, the two most important attributes are intelligence and spirit.

 Intelligence increases spell damage, and spirit increases mana.

 In previous lives, many mages had 4 intelligence and 1 spirit, or 3 intelligence and 2 spirit points in the early stage.

 However, for Lu Cheng.

 With the stacks of [Endless Drain], he has no shortage of damage.

 What is more needed is battery life and survival.

 That is, the three items of agility, constitution and spirit.

“Wait a minute, the Ice Lord’s job change seems to be in the northeast!”

 After recalling it, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

 In the previous life, after the Northeastern region was recovered, a god-level job transfer mission was given, and he was the Ice Lord of the mage system!

He is not the first mage to be exposed to the job transfer task. However, because the conditions were too harsh and no one before him could meet them, it fell into his hands.

It took three months for this mission to be successfully accepted.

 The requirements for god-level job transfer are too harsh!

If you want to accept the job transfer mission of the Lord of Ice, you must have a spiritual attribute of 450 points at level 60!

 That is to say.

　　Not only the attribute points must be fully increased with spirit.

 You also need to obtain at least 90 additional free attribute points and allocate them to the spirit.

However, Lu Cheng was still quite moved.

The conditions are certainly harsh, but there is no doubt that it is powerful!

The mage who was transferred to the god-level profession Ice Lord, was originally only second-tier in strength. Within half a year after the transfer, he became one of the top ten masters of Xia Kingdom!

 After thinking about it, Lu Cheng added all 5 free attribute points to his spirit.

Even if he doesn’t change his job as Lord of Ice, mana is an attribute he urgently needs right now.

　　【Ding, the free attribute points are allocated successfully, the spirit is +5, and the maximum mana value is +50. 】

 Finish allocating attribute points.

 Lu Cheng’s mana level reached 210.

Not counting mana recovery, it can also cast fireball 21 times in a row.

 Then, Lu Cheng looked around.

 Surrounded by level 1 zombies.

 He is now level 2. If he brushes level 1 monsters again, he will face an experience penalty.

 After thinking about it for a while, Lu Cheng made a decision.

Although it is definitely safer to farm level 1 monsters and stack talent layers.

 But under the experience penalty, one zombie may only give you two or three points of experience, and you need to farm more than 200 zombies to reach level 3.

Super god-level talents are strong, but in the early stage, if you only care about the number of stacks, you will lose sight of one thing and lose the other.

 In the early stage, level is also crucial, as it can provide other attributes he needs.

When the level is raised, the casting speed and cooling time are increased, and the casting speed is much faster than now.

 Looking at it this way, the result is obvious.

 When his output is sufficient, it is more efficient to farm level 2 monsters.

Lu Cheng stood up, carefully avoided the large group of zombies, and began to search for areas where level 2 monsters were infested.

When you encounter a small group of zombies that you can't get around, just use a few fireballs to wipe them out.

 It was pretty much what he thought. Killing level 2 zombies and then level 1 zombies would only result in a pitiful 2 points of experience.

 After a long time.

 Lu Cheng stopped in front of a farmland.

 He searched for more than an hour and almost reached the edge of the county town.

During this period, two level 2 monster areas were also discovered.

However, he bypassed them all. One is a mutated scarecrow, the monsters are too dense, and one of them is a large area.

 One is a demonized leech, which is too fast and difficult to kite.

 And now.

In front of him were Level 2 stone beetles, half a man tall, crawling in and out covered in thick carapace.

 “This is it.”

 Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

The stone beetle has thick health, high defense, and slow speed, which meets his requirements.

 Furthermore, this kind of monster has a hidden attribute that none of the previous three types have.

 Colony!

 This is a mechanism that was only fully understood in the middle of the Catastrophe.

 Monsters with group attributes form a group of their own.

 Killing a certain number of mobs may lead to elite monsters or even black iron level BOSS.

 Of course, the probability is quite low.

However, even if he doesn't have it, stone beetles are the most suitable monster for him to farm.

 Took a short rest.

 Lu Cheng started to clear monsters.

 Aim at a lone stone beetle and throw a fireball.

 “Bang!”

-

  499.

 The damage numbers popped up, and the stone beetle's health dropped by more than half, and it began to crawl towards Lu Cheng.

But the speed is really unflattering. Lu Cheng didn't even need to move very much. The fireball CD was turned before the stone beetle could reach him.

 “Bang!”

-

  507.

Another fireball hit the stone beetle, and the stone beetle's health bar bottomed out, dying.

This injury even surprised Lu Cheng himself.

This kind of armored monster has thick health and high defense. According to the output of a normal mage at level 2, it may not be possible to kill it even if it empty several tubes of mana.

  As a result, even if his magic power is stacked up, it will still be seconds in 2 hits!

【Ding, you killed the stone beetle (level 2) and gained +25 experience points. 】

 “This experience is rich!”

 After checking the harvest, Lu Cheng was quite satisfied.

 This efficiency is 10 times faster than killing zombies.

 If this continues, less than 20 stone beetles will be collected, which will be enough to level up.

Lu Cheng kept throwing out fireballs one after another.

  Half an hour later.

  【Ding, your skill Fireball has been upgraded to level 2. 】

  【Ding, you have reached level 3 and gained free attribute points +5. 】

 Two system prompts sounded one after another.

 Fireball has been upgraded to level 2, and the damage has been increased to 25 points. Everything else remains unchanged.

 Glancing at the skills, Lu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

 For low-level mages, the damage of the fireball spell has more than doubled, which is a huge improvement.

 But to him, they are nothing more than mosquito legs.

 As for the 5 free attribute points for upgrade.

 Lu Cheng still put in the effort.

 Then, we walked deeper into the farmland.

 Monsters that appear in groups may not all be of the same level.

 Sure enough.

　　Not long after leaving.

Lu Cheng smiled.

 In front of him were groups of stone beetles that were several times larger.

These stone beetles each hold blades of grass and grains, just like worker ants in an ant colony, and their levels are three.

and.

 What makes Lu Cheng happy is this.

Among this group of worker insects, one is very eye-catching. Its carapace is not black, but dark red!

 “Mutant!”

 Looking at the red stone beetle, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

 Mutated monsters are quite special, and their combat power may not be as high as that of elite monsters, but the rewards are often quite good!

 Looked around.

 Make sure that he would not attract other stone beetles, Lu Cheng decisively shot out a fireball.

 “Bang!”

-

  996.

 The terrifying damage number appeared, nearly four digits, and the red stone beetle had less than one-third of its health left.

 Lu Cheng was stuck on CD for 5 seconds, and there was another fireball.

-

  1005!

A four-digit damage number appeared above his head, and the red stone beetle was sent away directly.

【Ding, you killed the stone beetle worker insect (level 3, mutated) and gained experience points +255. 】

 The experience provided by level 3 monsters is generally between 40-60.

 This mutant monster provided 5 times the experience, which increased Lu Cheng's experience bar by a small margin.

However, what Lu Cheng was more concerned about was the flash of blue light emerging from the corpse of the stone beetle.

 In the blue light, there is a ring.

 “Did the equipment explode?”

 Lu Cheng stepped forward quickly, picked up the ring, and the name of the equipment appeared.

  【Arcane Ring】
