YM778.TV Chapter 260 - 260
[You have gained 100 EXP and 1 Seawater Orb.]
[You have leveled up! You are now level 2. You have gained 3 Ability Points and 1 Skill Point to spend as you wish!]
Xela was tongue-tied by this. Did she gain the experience from killing all those Murlocs? But she hadn\'t even touched them, merely having stood in place while the others had warmed up their skills.
Xela considered all she knew about the Supreme System and her face changed. Could it be because she was a healer? Thinking about it from that angle, it suddenly made sense!
After all, healers were not exactly known for their offensive might, their job was to heal their team members and keep them in good shape.
In that case, how did non-combat classes progress under the Supreme System? For example, if Darius had received the Broker or Craftsman Subclass instead of Magus, would he have still been expected to kill monsters to earn his EXP?
Xela knew the Supreme System was not a lifeless, mindless entity. It was real and semi-aware, so it could make judgments concerning situations at all times.
It could tell if a person was Darius\' ally or enemy when using the system targeting for spells, without the need for him to open his mouth to point at someone and declare \'I consider this fellow my ally\'.
When she had come here, Xela had believed she would not gain anything through this practice run other than the feel of how Vaults worked. She had always intended to start leveling herself using the bow and arrow when she was alone.
Now though, she knew she could embrace the job of a healer and keep the bow as well as the arrow as some sort of hidden trump card. If anyone attacked her thinking she was some helpless cleric, they would be in for a painful surprise.
As such, when the second batch of monsters appeared, Xela simply smiled. This time, it was a large group of level 2 Sea Snakes that were about the size of a typical python.
[Sea Snake - Level 2 Monster
HP: 10/10 MP: 3/3 STA: 10/10]
The group still casually dispatched the monsters. Xela even used this chance to do what she should have done in the beginning and inspected her allies to see their strength.
[Elverivar Husinomunto - Level 19 Elven Sharpshooter
HP: 180/180 MP: 342/342 STA: 281/285]
[Helen Salva - Level 20 Kickboxer
HP: 380/380 MP: 200/200 STA: 368/380]
[Lloyd Erving - Level 18 Speedsword
HP: 270/270 MP: 216/216 STA: 259/270]
[Nisha Hollevine - Level 20 Dual-Element mage
HP: 132/132 MP: 367/400 STA: 240/240]
Xela noted this with a smile. It seemed they were all suitably powerful in their own way, with Nisha and Helen being on the cusp of becoming Journeymen. Xela had long since learned how to adapt without Darius\' Analyze to provide stats.
In truth, all the maths was there for her. To find a person\'s Strength, she needed to look at their HP, which was calculated as Strength x Endurance.
To find their Endurance, she needed to only divide the total value of their Stamina against their level since is calculated as Endurance x Level.
Then going back, she would simply divide the Endurance stat against the HP to find their Strength value.
Similar to Endurance, for Intellect one just had to divide the total MP value by the level.
That way, she could obtain a person\'s Str, Int, and End from a simple Inspect. Funny enough, these were the exact three stats one used to determine \'life levels\' in Faust.
Intentional or not? Who knew?
Admittedly, Agility, Charisma, and Luck could not be discovered that way, so Xela could only use her senses to guess. She idly watched the group clear out the 25 level 2 Sea Snakes while waiting for her reward.
[You have gained 125 EXP and 3 Snake Poison Sacs.]
Not enough to level up unfortunately, so Xela opened her Character menu and pondered how to allocate her points. Darius had told her that she was free to do so if she wished, as he only allocated Gunner\'s because the large lad wanted him to.
Xela didn\'t mind, preferring to control the route of her growth herself. That was why she had unhesitatingly joined Darius under the Supreme System anyway.
Previously, she had let him allocate her stats from the Event because it had been too much for her to handle at once. Better to have an expert like Darius handle it, as he would know where best to put it.
Now though, it was up to her.
After pondering for a bit, she placed two points into Luck, bringing it to 20 points from 18. She wanted better drops from the monsters killed as well as more blessings from the Divine Light.
She placed the last AP into Strength, bringing it to 16 points from 15. She didn\'t feel the increase in Luck much, only that her spiritual senses seemed to expand a little, allowing her to see a fog relating to her future.
Xela squinted with surprise, remembering what Darius experienced during the Plains of Death Quest. All of this past info had been given her in the introductory infopack when she was converted.
It seemed like in order to see one\'s trend of Luck and engage their spiritual senses, one needed to have 50 points in Intellect at the minimum and 20 points of Luck.
After all, Gunner had 20 points of Luck and 35 points of Intellect, yet he could not see such a thing. This meant that the combo of Mind Power plus high Luck created a special phenomenon.
No wonder Darius emphasized and revered the Luck stat. There was more to it than meets the eyes for sure.
As for her single Skill Point, it went into her Bless skill, now increasing the HP, MP, and STA regen for her targets by 5%.
Following that, she cast the skill on her four allies, their expression changing once they felt the effects of her skill.
Just in time, for level 3 monsters started to appear from the dome, rushing towards the group in a mass of tentacles.
