Chapter 131 Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?(1/2)
Old Martin's morning was the same as before, not much changed.
Sitting at the door of the backyard, I had a small bowl of white rice porridge and a plate of green vegetables.
Watching the adventurers outside the house, they cooperate with each other to practice their skills. The wet nurse is responsible for treating them and slowly increasing their proficiency.
Martin looked in a daze. He had been doing this every day for two years, breakfast, training, lunch, training again, dinner, walking, and sleeping.
Martin is an assistant, nearly sixty-one years old.
As he is old, he no longer needs to practice skills, and all three skills are fully proficient.
He used to be the top commander of the Yunlong Adventure Group. He led the team to settle in Haizhen from other places. In the first year, he broke through the four-story dungeon and made great progress all the way.
However, he has entered an old age, and his level in all aspects cannot keep up with his peak period, and all attributes cannot reach the upper limit marked on the panel.
As the dungeon environment becomes more and more stressful, his shortcoming of low shield value becomes more and more prominent.
Often, as soon as the shield skill is activated, it will be cut down by a wild monster with a flat A, just like the skill is not activated.
His damage-increasing ability is a set of combo skills, and a shield must be present. If the shield is gone, the damage increase will also be gone.
Because he could not cope with the high-level environment of the dungeon, his position was demoted again and again, from the first team to the second team, and from the second team to the third team.
Now he can't even stay in the fifth team, so he was transferred to the training base for new players in the past two years.
It’s euphemistically called: elderly care.
There is no way, there are too many auxiliary adventurers who are stronger than him.
They are young, energetic, energetic, and have better skills than him.
The key is to use it easily.
If you want to compare his commanding ability, he knows better than young people.
But you must know that Haizhen Underground City has been developed for twenty years.
The first batch of young people are all middle-aged, have full training, their commanding ability is no worse than him, and their skills are better than his.
Now, Martin had no shame in staying in that position.
He can only follow the tide of the times, step back and give up his position to young people, come down to take care of his old age, train new people during the day, and take a walk at night.
Martin thought that life like this would last until he died of old age.
Who would have expected that the people above would send a secondment order from the Earth Dragon Secret Realm Alliance.
Frankie, the personnel assistant next to Captain Yunlong, appeared next to him and placed the secondment order in his hand on the table.
Martin was surprised that it was true that his own team was included in the Earth Dragon Secret Realm League roster.
But why would you lend it to me?
He read the contents above carefully.
"Dear Mr. Martin.
"The joint team of the Earth Dragon Secret Realm Alliance is in the preparation period. After comprehensive consideration, you meet the selection scope.
"As soon as you receive the secondment order, please rush to the Snow Mountain Adventure Group's station for trial training. The address is..."
Under this secondment order, there is the seal of Captain Yunlong and the seal of the alliance. The rest is my signature.
"Martin, can you still fight?" HR assistant French asked.
He couldn't understand why the Earth Dragon Secret Realm Alliance would lend a retired veteran?
There are probably many more useful supports than Martin.
Frankie didn't care who they were borrowing.
Just don't borrow the main players from the current first team.
But borrowing from Martin really surprised him.
Martin is so old and his condition continues to decline. Can he still fight on a high-pressure battlefield?
Frankie isn't the only one who thinks so.
The rookie team members who gathered quietly next to him also had similar thoughts.
Martin usually takes them on adventures in low-level dungeons.
Once the group shield is opened, the damage increases, and any monster you fight is fierce.
But Teacher Martin said that in a high-pressure environment, his shield was as brittle as paper and could not withstand even a second.
Once this secondment order is signed, that is definitely where you want to go.
Teacher Martin, can he do it?
Can he still fight on the front line of the Earth Dragon Secret Realm?
"Is this what the leader means?"
Martin looked at the secondment order and suddenly felt a little moved.
The regiment leader still hopes that he can go to the front line and battlefield instead of being unknown.
French said: "This is what the alliance means. After the leader received the secondment order, he asked me to ask you, can you still fight?
"If you can't fight, he will ask the Earth Dragon Secret Realm Alliance to choose another person."
When Martin heard this, he agreed without thinking: "I can still fight!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out his staff and muttered to himself, speaking very fast.
Dozens of magic emblems appeared and disappeared quickly. This was when he cast two magics at the same time, one was a shield and the other was a matching buff magic.
After two full seconds, a spot of light appeared on his staff, and then exploded out of thin air, spreading out a circle of light.
Everyone present was enveloped in light, with an extra layer of thin shield.
When covered by a shield, the body has an inexplicable illusion of increased strength and can run faster and become stronger.
"Look, I can still fight." Martin said.
Human Resources Assistant Frankie felt the long-lost increase in shield damage, stretched out his staff, and tapped the newcomer's shield.
-
645!
The original 35% damage-increasing skill increased the magic damage from 489 to 645, but in actual calculation, only a 32% increase was left.
With a snap, the shield immediately broke.
Looking at the blood bar lost on the newcomer's head, it was visually estimated that the shield had only offset more than 300 blood, compared with more than 400 at the peak.
He shook his head and said, "Martin, are you sure?"
This state is much less than that of middle-aged Martin.
"Of course!" veteran Martin affirmed.
…
When Martin got off the carriage, he saw the station of the Snow Mountain Adventure Group.
Two rows of trees line up straight towards the house, and a little further away there are two rows of horizontal trees. Behind the trees are large expanses of grass, which are taller than a person.
There is a path in the grassland leading to a tall thatched pavilion.
Martin couldn't help thinking that if there was a lake surrounding the pavilion, it would definitely be a very nice scenery.
There was also a carriage driving by.
The carriage carries the logo and flag of the Apocalypse Adventure Group, which is also another team of the King of Heaven.
The curtain inside opened, and a girl with short flaming red hair walked out. She had a neat ponytail, an oval face, and wore tightly connected silver armor, which was the equipment of a heavy shield hand.
I didn't see her shield, so she probably put it in the backpack space.
"Are you from Yunlong?" Chifeng asked.
She saw the flag on the carriage behind the old man, and she seemed to be asking questions knowingly.
Martin wondered if she was too nervous and had nothing to say.
"That's right, you were seconded here too?" Martin replied.
Speaking of this, Chifeng was a little emotional and complained: "Yes, I finally entered the fifth team of Apocalypse.
"I'm going to play the first level of the Earth Dragon Secret Realm with you tomorrow. Suddenly they borrowed me. I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking..."
Chifeng complained a few words and walked forward.
Martin heard the key information from it. This was the heavy shield bearer of the fifth team of the Apocalypse Adventure Team. He was borrowed as soon as he joined the fifth team.
It seems that the priority of this team is quite high. Generally speaking, if a new member is borrowed as soon as he joins the team, the captain of their team will definitely not be happy.
In the current high-pressure environment, if you can make it to the fifth team, you must have the strength.
Probably stronger than himself, Martin felt a little pressure.
