Soon Rosen discovered that the level of delivery was far more difficult to achieve than the levels of general skills.
On the one hand, the cooldown period of the skill is relatively long. After each release, you need to wait at least 60 seconds before using it again. This kind of situation has never been encountered in his previous dark skills.
On the other hand, the feeling of being thrown is really uncomfortable.
It feels like you were suddenly dropped from a height of 10,000 meters without even an umbrella bag, and you were unlucky enough to fall into a tornado and be blown up and down. Flying upside down.
Before you get used to the extremely strong feeling of dizziness and vomiting, another strong force suddenly pulls you straight and places you where you want to go.
So when you stand at the target point, your head is dizzy, your legs are weak, and even your soul seems to be far behind and has no time to possess you.
In this state, let alone starting a battle right away, it would be a blessing to be able to focus fire to death on the spot without being discovered by the enemy.
To solve this problem, the only way Rosen could think of was to practice even more crazily.
As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death. It won't be uncomfortable when you reach the limit.
Then Rosen gritted his teeth and began to use delivery at a frequency of fifty or sixty times per hour.
It is no exaggeration to say that except for walking at home, he basically uses teleportation and delivery alternately at other times.
Crazy tossing will only have two results, either getting worse or getting better.
And Rosen made the right bet this time.
"Delivery, lv2, you can be delivered to any coordinate point within 1000 meters of you at any time. If there are obstacles near the delivery location, the landing point will be fine-tuned to ensure your Life safety."
In addition to doubling the delivery distance, more importantly, the skill cooldown is reduced by 10 seconds.
Having hope gave Rosen the motivation to continue his madness.
During this period, he was also improving his proficiency in other skills.
Anyway, on Mars, he basically doesn’t have to worry about being seen, so he can do whatever he wants.
It’s just that for most skills that have reached level 3, it’s really not easy to upgrade their proficiency simply by repeatedly releasing them.
But some skills that he has not used much since he obtained them can increase his proficiency.
For example, Ghost Valley Secret Technique lv2, Shield Fighting Specialization lv2, Earth Works lv1, Psychic Hammer lv2, Lightning Ball lv1, Poison Spear lv2, Dominate Stone Demon lv1, Shadow Cloak lv1, Fireball lv2, Flame enhancement lv1, charged bomb lv2, lightning lv1, telekinesis lv1, hypoxic respiration lv1, lightning nova lv1, etc.
In addition to lightning balls and poison guns, throwing spears are also needed. Shield fighting specialization requires shields, and soil work is inseparable from shovels and pickaxes.Most of Yu's skills are simple and trouble-free, and apart from wasting some mana, they are basically fine.
But only the secret technique of Guigu made Rosen very worried.
Because he really doubts that this mysterious technique, which was developed based on the yin and yang feng shui of the mountains and terrain on the earth, can be used on Mars with a completely different environment?
Soon he discovered that he had far underestimated the wisdom of his predecessors and the power of the system.
It turns out that Guigu’s secret technique not only works on Mars, but is also quite easy to use.
For example, he was as proficient as a human-sized prairie dog in his soil-brushing work, digging holes and ditches all over the place.
When you don’t use the Gui Valley Secret Technique, what you encounter with a shovel depends on your luck. However, if you use the Gui Valley Secret Technique to look around in advance, you can naturally avoid the underground rock veins, which is absolutely worry-free. It saves a lot of effort.
The only thing that makes Rosen feel a little regretful is that no one has ever lived on Mars, so there can be no tombs. Otherwise, he would really like to fight against the Martians. .
Time passes quietly and unconsciously.
The 54th solar day.
When Rosen upgraded all the skills that could increase proficiency to level 3, Mark, whom he had not seen much since the last time he fired up, took the initiative to come to his door again.
Although he was unshaven at this time, he was in high spirits and said excitedly: "Rosen, guess what I discovered today?"
Of course Rosen knew what he had seen. I felt something, but I didn’t say it directly.
Otherwise, he was afraid that Mark would go crazy if he didn't let Mark speak about such a happy event.
So Rosen said very cooperatively: "What? I couldn't guess."
"It's potato seedlings." Mark smiled with joy, as if he could have had sex with his wife Compared to being a child.
He said: "You know, I made history. From today on, the history of planting on Mars will open a new chapter. The first potato plant was planted by me, Mark Watney." ."
"Yes, it is indeed you." Rosen nodded and echoed.
Although Rosen has not known Mark for a long time, after all, Rosen has traveled through so much time, and he already has some understanding of Americans' tendency to make loud noises.
Therefore, even though Mark looked triumphant, as if the world had changed drastically because of his potatoes, he didn't say much else.
After all, for a person who spent a long time and almost lost his life just to grow potatoes, this small achievement is indeed worth showing off.
And he, the great Mars farm pioneer, vegetable and fruit grower, and creator of dozens of achievements - Rosen will not say anything.
As a person, you have to keep a low profile. Being too showy can easily lead to trouble.
"Mark, my friend, in order to celebrate the success of your potato planting plan, I decided toI’ll treat you to lunch. "
Rosen thought for a while and said: "The staple food is rice, and the dishes are beef stew with potatoes, spicy and sour potato shreds, and some tomato and egg soup, how about it? "
"Of course, thank you for your generosity. Mark smiled and nodded, and then wondered: "Why so many potatoes?" ”
“Let you get used to the wonderful life of eating potatoes every day in advance. Rosen said with a smile.
The smile on Mark’s face solidified.
……………………
On Earth.
Cemetery.
“God favored America and allowed Mark to be a part of our space program. While we deeply mourn his loss, everyone at AA will persevere and do their best to fulfill their responsibilities to carry forward Mark's legacy and ensure that his sacrifice was not in vain. ”
It was still NASA Administrator Teddy Sanders who was delivering the speech, with a heavy expression and a sad tone, as if he was really sad for Mark’s death.
Waiting until he returned When I arrived at NASA, someone approached me.
“I thought your speech was really good. "
NASA, Mars mission commander, Vincent Capol walked into Ted's room and said: "I need your approval to call the satellite. ”
“Don’t even think about it. "Ted refused without hesitation.
"We have been funded for five Ares missions, and I think I can get the council to approve a sixth. Vincent said: "Listen, Ares withdrew after only 18 solar days, and there are still half of the mission's supplies there."
I can sell it for a fraction of the price of a normal quest. All I need to know is, how much of our property is left? ”
