Astral Apostle

   Chapter 13 Death Resolution and Succession Slots

  OM—

   Turned his eyes, and his consciousness entered the shuttle preparation space again.

   The familiar bright starry sky is used as the background, and the huge fluorescent panel suspends the galaxy.

   As soon as Zhou Jing entered, a waterfall-like message appeared on the panel. Before he could regain his senses, he was caught off guard.

  ["Will Wood" placement ends]

  [You can view this placement income report...automatically expand]

  [Placement time: 3 days (Astral Time)]

  [This income: Astral Point +9]

  [cumulative income: astral point 9/2000]

  [ability growth: none]

  [Trigger Achievement: [First Death (Unique)]]

  [Rating of this placement: indescribable]

   ["Will Wood" (No. 001) is dead]

  [Do you want to view death replays? ]

   "What the heck, how come you burp?!"

   Zhou Jing was a little stunned.

   Good guy, this was unexpected... Let's see what's going on.

   He fumbled for a moment, activated the death replay, and an image popped up on the panel.

  —

   Inside the cabin.

  "Will Wood" was lying on the bed, his face was blue and purple, the poisoning was deep, his eyes were closed, he was in a severe coma, and the arrow wound on his body had festered with pus.

  Beside the bed, a strangely dressed old man was bouncing up and down, dancing strangely, muttering as he danced, as if he was holding some kind of ceremony.

  The old man's wrinkled face was painted with oil paint, with two feathers on his head, and he was wearing a robe woven with black feathers, which reminded Zhou Jing of primitive religion's sorcerers and sacrifices.

   There was also a familiar face watching, it was Griff, with a worried look on his face.

   After dancing like a **** for a while, the old man stopped, sweating profusely, with his hands clasped on his forehead, as if he was praying.

   After about ten seconds, the old man took a few steps back and turned to look at Griff: "I prayed for him for three consecutive days, I have tried my best, and the gods will try to save him."

   "I don't believe in your god." Griff was dissatisfied: "You gave Captain Baron and the others potions, why didn't you give him?!"

   "The potion has been used up." The old man shook his head: "He is too poisoned. All I can do is clean up the wound and let blood for treatment. The rest is up to the will of the gods."

   "How is that possible! We went into the mountains to help you pick herbs so many times, and it's so easy to use up?!"

"If you run out, you're out of use, and it's too late for a temporary match." The old man lowered his eyes and looked merciful: "But it doesn't matter, I have sincerely prayed to the gods, and he will receive the blessings of the gods. If he still dies, then his life is already dead. It's absolutely useless, no medicine is needed."

   Without waiting for a response, the old man tremblingly picked up his cane and staggered out of the house.

   Griff stayed to take care.

  Day turned into night, and "Will Wood" finally didn't get through it, and stopped breathing in a cold late night.

   Griff took the corpse to the village cemetery, and buried the corpse inside under the silence of the hunters in a circle.

  The tombstone engraved with the name of "Will Wood" quietly watched the pale face covered by a handful of sand.

  [Death replay ends]

  —

When the    video ended, Zhou Jing came back to his senses.

  It turned out to be such a death... or not survived the toxin attack, and died of serious injuries.

  Before his own return, this carrier had already gone to Half-Life, and it is not surprising that he didn't get past it.

   "It seems that after my consciousness returns, the damage of the astral apostle will not heal suddenly... So before returning, try not to put the astral apostle in a dangerous situation, otherwise it may die during placement."

   Zhou Jing frowned slightly.

   If he uses the medical technology of the main world, he probably won't die... But it is meaningless to say that, although he guessed that the medicine of the alien world may be very backward, he did not expect to use the jumping **** to heal the patient.

  This is not a matter of medical skills, are you fooling the ghost?

  The most outrageous thing is that such a doctor is still qualified to practice medicine in the village, and the villagers haven't stabbed him to death with a pitchfork? !

  Quack doctors hurt people!

   Zhou Jing's spirit.

   But he is the most angry now, or the gang of the Earth Skeletons.

   Fighting side by side with the hunters and becoming friends, and being able to go to Frostwood Village to inquire about information, is obviously a double happiness, but why does it become like this...

   If it wasn't for the Earth Skeletons taking advantage of the fire to rob and attack, this astral apostle would not have been poisoned, and he was finally mourned.

   "Earth bone man, right, get it back sooner or later."

   Zhou Jing made a note in the small notebook in his heart.

   cleaned up his mood, Zhou Jing looked at the panel, the death of "Will Wood" temporarily disrupted his plans, and he wanted to see what happened next.

   At this time, after the death replay, an interface popped up.

  ["Will Wood" (number 001) death settlement]

  [Total survival time: 9 days]

  [Sync rate: 32%]

  [strength: not in the extraordinary]

  [Astral Point total revenue: 1477]

  [Total revenue of information state particles: 0]

  [Famousness: 0]

  [career evaluation: premature death]

  [Evaluation reward: none]

  [Free inheritance slot: [random] x3, [designated] x2]

   "Is there a death settlement? It counts the career earnings of an astral apostle."

   Zhou Jing read it carefully and thought about it.

   It seems that there are too many settlement links for the astral shuttle?

   There is a small settlement for each return, and the collection income of the current shuttle is counted.

   There is a settlement for each placement, and statistics are collected from the actions of the astral apostles during a placement period.

   And the settlement of death is the career statistics of an apostle of Xinghai, which visually displays all the achievements of an apostle.

   "If you guess correctly, if the Astral Apostle clears the level, there will also be a clearance settlement.

   So there may be four different settlement modes...return, placement, death, customs clearance, two small and two big. "

   Zhou Jing thought silently, and roughly understood the process.

  Death settlement will give rewards based on career evaluation. This time, it seems that we were caught off guard, so there is no reward.

   However, the function of [Free Inheritance Slot] surprised Zhou Jing.

   The usefulness of this thing is that when the last apostle succumbs, you can choose some abilities and inherit it to the next astral apostle for free!

  Although in the pinching stage, you can also consume astral points, select the abilities of other astral apostles from the "Recording Book", and inherit the abilities of the new astral apostles...

   But how can you spend money on prostitution!

   As long as the death evaluation is higher, the more [Free Succession Slots] will be, which means that the next apostle will immediately have the strength and skills of the predecessors at the beginning.

   "Good stuff!"

   Zhou Jing was immediately excited.

   He was worried about whether the abilities he possessed should be rebuilt after the death of the astral apostle, but now it seems that it can be passed down from generation to generation.

   Even if it cannot be converted to the main body, it greatly improves the chances of customs clearance!

   The key practice achievements will not be wasted. Even if they die, they will be passed down from generation to generation. Until a certain apostle clears the customs, it can still be transformed into himself.

  —That feels like a wave!

   Zhou Jing was refreshed and quickly studied it carefully.

   He found that there are two types of free inheritance slots: [random] and [designated].

   In this evaluation, a total of 5 free inheritance slots are given, and "Will Wood" only has 4 skills, which is completely enough.

   The ability inheritance between the astral apostles is affected by their respective qualifications. If the ability does not match the qualifications of the new template, the skill level will also increase or decrease.

   However, that is something that needs to be considered after the ability level is high. The level of the four skills of "Will Wood" is very low, far from the point of aptitude... Vegetables also have the benefits of vegetables!

  [Free inheritance slot used up]

  [Inherited 4 skills: [Tara Empire, Northern Dialect] Lv2, [Weapon Mastery-Hunting Knife] Lv1, [Weapon Mastery-Dagger] Lv1, [Wild Survival] Lv1]

  [When the next Astral Angel template is generated, the selected ability will be inherited]

   "Wonderful!"

  Zhou Jing felt relieved.

   Although these abilities are nothing, they are of great significance... As long as the newcomer can inherit the important abilities of the predecessors, the hard work of the predecessors will not be in vain.

   At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he still had a few unused aptitude and attribute improvement rewards.

   He quickly checked, these rewards were still in the warehouse, and the death of the astral apostle did not affect the accumulated achievement rewards.

  —Except for some special achievements that can only be used by the trigger, most achievement rewards are generic and can be used on other Astral Apostles.

   Zhou Jing had a flash of inspiration and quickly thought of a set of operations:

   "In this case, maybe you can save the triggered achievement reward, meet a star realm apostle worth investing in, and then activate it again to stack the big brother?"

  Well, it seems that this operation is feasible...comfortable, I found a trick again!

  Unfortunately, the achievement rewards for improving aptitude and attributes seem to be only used for astral apostles, not for the main body, otherwise he would also like to experience what it feels like to become a genius overnight.

   "This is not bad. Improving the qualifications of the apostles also increases the chance of customs clearance."

   Zhou Jing shook his head and noticed an additional achievement in the warehouse.

   In the "Will Wood" placement report, the unique achievement was triggered after death, and it became a "legacy" left to himself.

  [Trigger [First Death (Unique)]]

  [Unlock Astral Apostle Template Accessibility Bar]

  [Get [Accessibility] x4]

  [[Character level system (up to 10 levels)]]

  [[Item Analysis Function]]

  [[Follower function]]

  [[pet function]]

   "Accessibility..."

   Zhou Jing read the interpretation once, and was instantly refreshed and happy.

  Astral Apostle's attribute file, one item is the auxiliary function bar, and the number of empty slots depends on the rarity of the template.

When    pinch people, you can equip the auxiliary function in the empty slot for use when the astral apostle walks. For different auxiliary functions, different amounts of Astral Points are consumed when equipping them.

The    auxiliary functions seem to be of various kinds, and the specific purpose is to give the astral apostles some unconventional special advantages.

   According to Zhou Jing's simple understanding...

  —Is this not the meaning of paying to open? And can you choose a plug-in for the astral apostle yourself? !

   Good guy, this is a bit fierce!

   "But it's possible to reorganize matter to create astral apostles. It doesn't seem surprising to add a little more material..."

   Zhou Jingping calmly muttered with excitement.

   The contents of these four auxiliary functions, judging from the effects, should be "plug-in tools" at the basic level. It feels like a quick language parsing as an initial benefit - not too much help, but not too exaggerated.

   If an astral apostle is equipped with auxiliary functions, then the movement and growth can be much more convenient.

   And I have saved some Astral Points, and I have enough money. Next time I create an Astral Apostle, you can use the paid pinching function—use these resources to create a new Astral Apostle, with higher potential and a smoother start.

  Thinking about this..."Will Wood" died well!

  If the Astral Apostle hadn't died, he wouldn't be able to unlock auxiliary functions, and he wouldn't be able to create a new and more powerful template.

  I only have two months, because "Will Wood" left early, so I didn't spend too much time on this mediocre template, and I didn't take detours. Judging from the results, it seems to be a good thing?

   "Wonderful, wonderful to die..."

   Zhou Jing was no longer depressed for a moment.

   Not only is it not a loss, but it feels like a profit.

  Will Wood, your sacrifice will be remembered by the organization!

   He was secretly excited when he thought that the next time he would pinch people, he would not need to force the start as hard as last time.

   Moreover, the time of the alien world and the main world move forward together, and the events and connections experienced last time will not disappear.

   He discovered the map of Frostwood Village by himself, and Zhou Jing decided to designate it here next time, so he didn't have to randomly land in a dangerous place.

   "Will Wood" is dead, but the influence he left on the hunters still exists, and he may be able to use this to continue to deal with people like Baron and Griff...

   I feel like the next apostle will be smooth... Zhou Jing clenched his fist excitedly.

   However, "Will Wood" is still dead, and it will take time to generate a new template.

   Zhou Jing looked at the information on the panel below, which showed "No Astral Apostle available" and "The new template generation time is 1 day".

   "Just wait for a day, just to sort out the astral shuttle mechanism currently explored... By the way, think about how the new apostle should act."

   Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, and a vague plan appeared in his mind.
