Looking at the blood-red text above and the automatically appearing camera, Chen Xuan struck a pose, then pursed his lips in exasperation. Buddy, I haven't even agreed to your camera permissions yet.
But this little thing wasn't really a big deal. After all, his permissions had been leaking for quite some time.
Besides, compared to other things, Chen Xuan had a bit of confidence in his appearance.
And clearly, after appearance, the true focus was:
[3. How can a decaying body practice martial arts? How can flesh and blood carry the Dao? Constitution, comprehension, strength, movement technique, and even the mysterious fortune and encounters, all are gifts from heaven and the foundation of cultivation.]
[Innate attribute points: 20]
[Current attributes:]
[Constitution: 1] (The foundation of Qi and blood, affects part of martial arts training speed, some martial art learning requirements.)
[Comprehension: 1] (The root of wisdom, affects martial arts breakthrough probability, some martial art learning requirements.)
[Movement Technique: 1] (The art of agility, affects some lightness skill proficiency and training speed, footwork efficiency, some martial art learning requirements.)
[Strength: 1] (The vigor of energy, affects most martial arts direct power, carrying capacity, stamina, and some martial art learning requirements.)
[Fortune: 1] (The wonder of luck, affects some encounter triggers, treasure discovery, and certain plot branches.)
Looking at these attribute points, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and focused on Constitution, Comprehension, and Fortune.
Based on his experience, in this type of wuxia game, combat attributes like Movement Technique and Strength can be improved by learning and practicing martial arts, but Constitution, Comprehension, and Fortune, especially the latter two, determine the upper limit.
Although Chen Xuan didn't expect this small program game to achieve any balance, still, as the saying goes:
Take every game seriously!
So, he quickly allocated:
Fortune 6, Comprehension 6, Constitution 6, as for Movement Technique and Strength, the former 4, the latter 3.
[4. The road of the martial world is long, what do you rely on? The path of martial arts is long, what is your heart? What you pursue, what you are obsessed with, is your 'Dao'.]
[Seek an answer. You enter the martial world not for fame or fortune, but to seek an answer. Perhaps the mystery of a loved one's death, or the cause of your sect's destruction. This heart does not die, this road does not end. Obtain initial title: 'Obsessive Seeker'.]
[Prove a great Dao. What is martial arts? What is chivalry? You want to forge your own path. Perhaps challenge the world's masters, perhaps create an unparalleled martial art. You want the martial world to forever remember your name. Obtain initial title: 'Seeker of the Dao'.]
[Guard a place of peace. The martial world is turbulent, you've seen too many innocents suffer. You don't seek fame, only wish the sword in your hand can protect those around you, guard the peace you cherish. Obtain initial title: 'Guardian'.]
[Seek a life of freedom. Fame and fortune are like clouds to you, grudges are just drinks in a cup. Roam the green mountains, sleep among the flowers, this martial world in your eyes is just a human play. Obtain initial title: 'Free Wanderer'.]
[Command a world. In one night, the Divine Land changes, heaven and earth reversed, all obsessions. You want to wake and hold the power of the world, this martial world, this human realm, are all pieces to fulfill your ambition. Obtain initial title: 'Ambition Incarnate'.]
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan looked at this round of options, his brows furrowed. This time, the choices left him a bit puzzled.
Clearly, these so-called initial titles definitely have effects, but this time, the effects were not disclosed.
And Chen Xuan delved deeper. If following normal deduction, undoubtedly, he should choose the first, 'Obsessive Seeker'.
Because this likely has some linkage with his initial choice of 'Mysterious Origins'.
But it was just a guess. Chen Xuan looked at these four questions, the so-called question of the original heart, and truly fell into thought.
If he really entered a real martial world, what would his original heart be?
After thinking for a while, Chen Xuan placed his finger on the second option.
If possible, he still wanted to pursue that so-called higher martial Dao, the rest had attraction, but not particularly strong.
Because the allure of the transcendent is unique.
After all, women, power, these things exist in reality too.
However, after choosing, Chen Xuan was taken aback, then chuckled wryly.
He had to admit, the immersion of this little game was quite well done.
Fortunately, the new blood-red text prompt brought Chen Xuan back to his senses:
[5. Everyone has something extraordinary. Your innate fate may be hidden deep in your bloodline.]
[All innate fates are randomly drawn, choose one of six, ranked by level: Saint (Gold), Heavenly (Red), Earthly (Purple), Mystic (Blue), Yellow (Green), Mortal (White)]
(The highest innate fate drawn at the start can only reach Earthly-rank, subsequent upgrades can be achieved through encounters, special opportunities, even acquiring and combining other fate talents.)
[Fate draw complete...]
[Profound Sword Qi (Earthly): You are naturally close to swords, swordsmanship training speed +25%, swordsmanship power +50%, you can vaguely sense the location of famous swords.]
[Hunter's Son (Mortal): You are a born hunter, extremely skilled in the city ability 'Trapmaking', and have +5% movement speed in forests.]
[Born Performer (Yellow): Can easily mimic others' speech and behavior, handwriting. Disguise success rate +25%, easier to gain trust in city abilities 'Negotiation', 'Trade'.]
[Clear Mind and Keen Eyes (Mystic): Reading and learning secret manuals time halved, learning requirements reduced by 10%, martial arts bottleneck breakthrough probability +5%.]
[Fortunate Wealth (Yellow): City ability 'Trade' directly upgraded to advanced ability 'Commerce', and a 0.5% chance to find money during actions.]
[Ordinary Mortal (Mortal): You have nothing special, but this fate changes randomly to any level fate each time you advance a major martial Dao realm.]
Looking at these distinctly different six so-called innate fates, Chen Xuan almost didn't think twice before choosing the first, Profound Sword Qi.
The reason high rank is high rank is for a reason.
This talent clearly doesn't match the style of the others.
The rest, especially the last one, seemed good, with potential for high future talent limits, but Chen Xuan wasn't a gambler.
If this thing gambled out a top-tier Saint-rank or Heavenly-rank, that'd be fine, but if it kept rolling in the unranked, it would be a pure blank slate.
Moreover, the system text also indicated that in the future, it is possible to acquire fate talents through encounters and upgrade the rank of fate talents.
However, just as Chen Xuan was about to confirm, he suddenly remembered something and looked at an inconspicuous button on the side.
He still remembered that when he agreed to join the game, it seemed to say there was an additional opportunity in the fate talent selection?
It proved to be true.
[You chose to directly enter the martial Dao with determination, you have one opportunity to generate a unique fate based on yourself in the fate selection. Generate?]
[Yes!]
Instantly, a flash of light flickered across the dark interface, and Chen Xuan, watching the screen, suddenly felt a jolt like an electric shock. When he came to, the tablet had returned to normal, and beneath the six fate talents, a new, special fate talent appeared that he hadn't seen before:
[Defy Heaven and Change Fate (Exclusive): You can arbitrarily modify your five-dimensional attribute distribution at any time during the game process, and you can see all the encounters and trigger conditions on each scene and character.
Correspondingly, your initial five-dimensional attributes return to 0.]
