CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 143: CORE OF THE SYSTEM, STRUGGLE UPWARDS._3

As for the cost of increasing the Body Refining Level, it’s not an issue at all.

The process of enhancing the Body Refining Level can bring attribute enhancement, so the cost here is essentially increasing one’s own strength.

But raising the Star Vein Level is different; it’s an ever-increasing expenditure.

The cost to open the second Star Vein Slot is 500 sacrificial power, the third is 1000 sacrificial power... By the seventh Star Vein, the cost reaches 16000 sacrificial power, and it increases the more you advance.

So the greatest expense for players of the Star Vein Combination faction isn’t the Body Refining Level, but the Star Vein Level.

With a Level 3 Body Refining, managing three main Life Souls should be sufficient for the early stage, but the Star Vein Level gets increasingly expensive the higher it goes. This is the allure of the Star Vein combination gameplay, and Monster Stream players shouldn’t mislead newcomers.

I’m very lazy and didn’t want to post strategies, but seeing a bunch of Monster Stream players urging newcomers into their Monster Stream got to me.

Comments Section:

Fierce Chicken: Liked and supported, your idea isn’t just a revelation for rookies. In fact, many veteran players haven’t realized that in the Star Vein Combination faction, the Star Vein Level is the core, but many players believe that Body Refining Level is the core. You can only say Body Refining is an all-around enhancement; Star Vein is a super enhancement unique to combination gameplay.

I am a scoundrel: Thanks for the strategy post. I’ve been a veteran player for two months now, with four Star Vein slots, still burying myself in raising my Body Refining Level. Seems like I’ve mixed up my priorities, figuring out that Star Vein is actually the mainstream for our gameplay, allowing attribute enhancement to affect the performance of Life Soul traits.

May the Holy Light be with you (OP) replies to I am a scoundrel: Raising Body Refining Level isn’t a loss; eventually, it’ll have to be increased, like for the Magic System’s Lifeforce Inhalation, where the recovery effect brought by spiritual power enhancement is far less than the effect brought by raising Lifeforce Inhalation Level.

Geng Chengxiang: Post bookmarked and liked. This problem indeed exists. The importance of the Star Vein Level is severely underestimated on the forums. It’s only in the early stages that Body Refining Level’s importance is greater than Star Vein Level, but later on, Star Vein Level’s significance far exceeds that of Body Refining Level.

Don’t fight with me for the abbot: I don’t care. Monster Stream is number one in the world. I believe the official later will introduce enhancement rules for Monster Stream. Our Monster Stream is destined to be invincible, in later stages, a stomp will cause an earth tremor, raising our bodies to block the sun, a spit turns into an ocean, a sneeze causes sky collapse, a slap shatters mountains and rivers.

Flirtatious Little Bull: Aren’t Monster Stream players all mounts? Playing Monster Stream without being mounted makes your monster life incomplete. I’ve always thought Monster Stream players emerged to compensate for the lack of mount feature in the game (Working Party arrogant laugh.jpg).

The appearance of this informative post correctly explained the characteristics of Star Vein Level and Body Refining Level, and compared their importance.

As players mentioned, Monster Stream only showcases strong performance when the number of embedded Life Souls is low in the early stages.

In the game’s later stages, Star Vein Combination faction is bound to rise.

As the Star Vein Slots continue to be opened and more Life Souls are embedded, the player’s power will undergo qualitative change.

This is the attribute enhancement brought by the fusion of characteristic power, which is also the core setting of Qi Sheng’s crafting of the Star Vein Combination growth system.

The posting player indeed touched on the core key of the growth system.

Monster Stream is playable, but ultimately it’s not the core gameplay of the game, and the power increase it brings will significantly diverge from the Star Vein Combination gameplay.

As for whether the future will accommodate the rule territory that enhances Monster Stream gameplay, he’s uncertain.

At this moment, Qi Sheng suddenly remembered seeing world rules brought by external forces that the Giantification before discovering the Frosty Winter Snowfield scene.

He turned his head to look at the Guidance hovering beside him:

"Guidance, can the Challenger System integrate world rule power brought by external forces?"

[Of course, but the process of integration will necessarily consume a lot of sacrificial power. The Challenger System we crafted can be understood as a growth system similar to Star Vein Slots; each rule territory is a Life Soul. The external world rules, while unmatched, can be made compatible with our Challenger System through sacrificial power consumption, providing players with the blessing of external world rule power.]

[Mastering Emperor’s Signal Origin, you can generate sacrificial power to transform everything; nothing is impossible. If it can’t be done, it means there isn’t enough sacrificial power.]

The guidance’s answer gave Qi Sheng a new goal.

Going forward, every time the Player Corps takes down a cheat-enabled faction, their cheats will become growth aids for the Player Corps.

Provided that after taking them down, the cheats are still intact.

At that moment, the information feedback from the Guidance interrupted his thoughts.

His consciousness immediately switched to the Frosty Winter Snowfield scene.

...

Frosty Winter Snowfield.

The campfire flickered in the cold wind, more than a dozen Tianyu Clan players sat together, warming themselves by the fire, eating to replenish their physical strength.

All of them wore equipment discarded by old players, most of which were mall gear.

Mall gear doesn’t need to worry about whether it fits, as it’ll automatically adjust to a suitable wearing mode for any player.

"This damn weather, it’s freezing me to death."

Yu Ling, at the forefront, puffed out a cloud of white mist, rubbed his hands vigorously over the fire, couldn’t help complaining, then reached out to pat his hair, brushing off the snowflakes on his white hair.

Once his hands were warm, he took out a food can from the Space Bag and ate heartily to replenish his physical strength.

"Stupid bird, why aren’t we going to fight with the Purple Tide; why are we opening up exploration routes ourselves?" A Tianyu Clan player sitting next to him curiously asked at that moment.
