Tutorial: magic or qi? (3)

We were resting in our house after an arduous day of collecting pieces of animals, finally after much collecting we were able to find a way to use these materials to improve the facilities of the house; Being the only one that provides a lighting and heating service based on these rare stones. It consumes a lot of these to sustain the full functionality, but it recovers in a hunting day. Also thanks to that we can charge more rent and enjoy a hot shower or homemade food; Our health and our life became more bearable thanks to this, in addition to the fact that we have hours of extra light, they are an incredible advantage in that special now that we level up and we hardly need to rest. Allowing us more hours of training in the security of our home. Thanks to these discoveries, the house that we were building next door also began to be strengthened in this way, currently it appears as a*****e of materials and magical objects due to the amount of them that we put there; But we still haven't managed to get something like a magic tower to form. We were discouraged 5oor this but we did not give up every day we encouraged ourselves to hunt larger animals in order to achieve this goal, despite the fact that we had hired help to deal with hunting these we took up the loss by swimming several of this size; I can't even think about how rich the NPCs will be who go out hunting in a group and come back with several wagons like ours but with larger creatures. Something that we notice is that the NPCs have to die because of the beasts but when they arrive in the city another one reappears returning to the place of the fallen warrior, this according to the words of NPCs who agreed to be our guards within a certain risk zone so as not to end up the same; This surprised us because we believed that they were invulnerable but they are only invulnerable towards us and vice versa.

I spoke with the guild and asked how I could order a soccer ball size crystal or get one if they collected it, it was clarified to me that it had not yet been found of that size and that if I wanted I could have a mission about it but the quantity The amount of money that he had to give as a reward was too great. He needed to accumulate all the wealth of all the people in the city. It seems that if I want something like that I will have to wait for the war of the group that goes out to hunt to rise. I and Emma are somewhat anxious for our project to finish before the integration of both worlds, something that we do not know when it will happen, so we always do the best we can to push ourselves further in our hunt; achieving better results little by little; to the point that we already have 6 people under contract when we go hunting and each one of us takes our cart and we begin to frame as if there were no tomorrow. But even so, the largest crystal we obtained did not reach the size of a soccer ball, however this was already something to celebrate the forces of war were limited to those of this size in order to strengthen each individual to the maximum something that he took his time; In addition, the guards have a limit to how much they can hunt per day or per month, even when accompanying a person when hunting there is a limit to what they can obtain as a benefit.

These resources are suspended until the following month, however this amount also increases the larger the city is, so the guards and warriors, despite being limited, accumulate to hope that they cannot obtain the benefits at the moment by way of savings. long term; The system does this on purpose so that there is not such a great imbalance of power between the people who live in the city so if in the future there is no more protection we will not enslave each other or something like that. Me and Emma had various weapons and traps that accumulated all the damaging, slowing and stun effects that could be; Making it easier for us to hunt despite being a short group, we could even reduce the payment to the NPCs by lending them these weapons so that our expeditions became increasingly sustainable and beneficial, we could even hire more people. In the city there are more than 200 NPCs thanks to the relentless expansion of it and more dungeons have been discovered some of them with nagic creatures inside, these had some veins of nagic minerals or qi metals that allowed a better conductivity and resistance than an alloy of glass and metal; so we began to increase our hunting party to the minimum number of people required to go to one of these dungeons and improve our armor with these materials. Thanks to the information from the NPCs we managed to win several times one with various aninals that spit or threw some skill and collect minerals and magic resources in a sack, after strengthening ourselves to the maximum we began to leave these resources in the warehouse that was near our house; One day we were leaving these resources when the building shone and became a defense tower. According to the poster it condensed Qi or mana energies to degender the city from magical attacks, its aura kept certain creatures away from it in a certain range, it consumed magic resources in order to launch these defensive attacks; or accumulate energies to launch them in the future and required an absurd amount of materials to grow. The NPCs that were with us noticed this change and went to encourage the other NPCs to raise the level of this and I know that once the tutorial was finished it was the only thing that would guarantee that the area remained safe at least it had beasts, we entered the mini tprre and we noticed an NPC that as a reward he was going to teach us a free mana skill or two free Qi; Qi's used less energy than the special and his attacks were almost as powerful as those with mana but in return you got tired faster.

It took a lot of SP to use one of these skills, so to be able to use them you depended on having good resistance; The amount of Qi helped to reduce this expense, but it was difficult to increase the amount of Qi almost as much as the mana. The mana was spent and took time to regenerate but at least it did not spend that much SP using it, but it required you to have a good amount of intelligence points to be able to use this ability and its regeneration depended on eato and your wisdom; The MP or Qi bar could be extended to a certain point with the help of the collected crystals but it was still an expensive and painful process according to the NPC.

When we saw what abilities we could gain, we were disappointed, they were super weak but at least they could level up practicing and consuming crystals that contain similar energies; Something we noticed is that Qi's were easier to infuse into a weapon than mana's. However, we did not know which was the best option, in the end Emma was left with two Qi abilities, one that froze and the other that burned; while I one that more less cured. It was only useful for scratches but we hoped we could level it up, although it required many materials and money, we were willing to make the sacrifice; In addition, thanks to the mahica plants that we cultivated in the farms, it was now possible to obtain recharge potions Sp, Qi, MP and HP. Although they were super expensive, we hardly had to pay to supply the materials even though they spent several kilos of this in order to obtain a fat, however thanks to the fact that we were the only suppliers we were becoming rich and we were able to increase production and even buy some of better quality which served to reduce the quantities that would be needed to make something of equal quality; Also by having so many plants we could raise more and better magical animals using them as food for each other to obtain more benefits by creating something bigger and more expensive. Lately I feel that we are becoming magnates regarding the money and wealth that we are accumulating, if it weren't that most of us reinvested in making the city grow, I don't think the system will let us continue adi; Pprque in everything he tries to make a balance but who knows. At least now we are able to use abilities, so we did not waste time and resources in improving our special energy bars to the maximum of our current level; even to improve our skill level by suffering hardships equivalent to being beaten one by one for each time we underwent this process, but the results were worth it.
