[Whirlpool Trap (Entry Level): Use Dark Magnet Powder as the main material to set up a trap with a radius of 0.5 meters. Once the trap is triggered, 200% Direct Trap Damage will be dealt to enemies within a radius of 3 meters. Once the trap is triggered, the Dark Magnet Powder's effect will be activated, forming a magnetic whirlpool. Enemies within a radius of 8 meters will be attracted to the center of the trap.
The magnetic whirlpool will last for 3 seconds. Enemies within a radius of 3 meters of the magnetic whirlpool will receive 100% damage every second.
The skill's cooldown time is 5 minutes. With each level increase, the skill's range and duration will increase.
Before this, the Trap skills that Chen Mo had learned were all very small traps that only took up the space of a person. They were so small that they could be set up on a rock, allowing Chen Mo to throw them out.
However, the Whirlpool Trap's radius alone was half a meter. After the trap was triggered, the skill's damage range would reach a radius of 3 meters. The range of the magnetic whirlpool was even larger. It was truly a large-scale trap.
Moreover, it was only entry level, but its damage was already not bad. After the skill's level increased, the damage would be even more impressive.
The only downside was that to set up the Whirlpool Trap, he had to set it up beforehand. Such a large-scale trap would probably be very difficult to use in a battle.
However, everything had its pros and cons. If he could casually set up such a powerful trap, other professions wouldn't need to play. Moreover, he had two skills, Trap Control and Trap Chain. Together with the Whirlpool Trap, it would definitely become a huge killing machine.
After learning these three skills, Chen Mo equipped the Strong Arbalest and the Mermaid Ring, two pieces of Level 20 Purple Equipment. The Strong Arbalest's base physical attack was 99-132, while the Mermaid Ring's base physical attack was + 40. Both increased base physical attack.
Apart from the Mermaid Ring, Chen Mo also had two Green Necklaces and a Green Ring. These two pieces of equipment were both Level 15. Together, they increased base physical attack by 20 points.
As a result, Chen Mo's basic physical attack power had reached 159-192.
The Mermaid Ring gave him 20 Strength, the two green accessories gave him 20 Strength, the five armor gave him 30 Strength, the First Grandmaster title gave him 30 Strength, and the Perfect Master passive title gave him 10 Strength. Chen Mo's character was level 20, so almost all of his free attribute points were added to Strength. This meant that from level 2 onwards, every level added 7 Strength. His character's Strength was 136 points, so Chen Mo's total Strength was 281 points!
A player's final Physical Attack Power was determined by the player's Basic Attack Power and Strength. The higher the Basic Attack Power and Strength, the more powerful the player's Physical Attack Power would be!
The increase in Basic Attack Power, in particular, would significantly increase a player's Attack Power.
After Chen Mo switched to a Level 20 Purple weapon and the Mermaid Ring that increased his basic physical attack power, his basic physical attack power had greatly increased. His final attack power had increased by an astonishing amount.
Chen Mo looked at his Attack Power on his Attribute Panel. It was a combination of his Basic Physical Attack Power and a player's total Strength. He couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Attack Power 381 – 731!
This Attack Power was actually higher than Ceci Hailow's Boss Sister!
Too powerful!
Chen Mo suspected that the system display was wrong. However, after he substituted the Attack Power formula that he had obtained from the forum, he knew that this was indeed his Attack Power!
The formula for Attack Power had long been calculated by someone else.
The formula for calculating the upper limit of Physical Attack Power was Basic Physical Attack Power * (1 + 100 Strength). The formula for calculating the lower limit of Physical Attack Power was Basic Physical Attack Power * (1 + 200 Strength).
The formula for calculating Magic Attack Power was the same. It only needed to be changed from Physical Attack Power to Magic Attack Power, and Strength to Intelligence.
However, it wasn't too strange for him to have such a powerful Attack Power. For a Level 20 player, Chen Mo's Attack Power had almost reached the limit.
The determinants of Attack Power were Basic Attack Power and Strength. Basic Attack Power was only provided by weapons and accessories.
His weapon was a Purple weapon. The next level up was Dark Gold. As for Dark Gold weapons, Chen Mo had only seen the Level 10 Sailler's Gloves. Other than that, he had never even heard of them. It was obvious how rare Dark Gold weapons were.
He only had one piece of Purple equipment, and he could change it for two pieces. However, Purple equipment was even rarer than weapons, and it didn't increase his Attack Power by much.
In terms of Strength, weapons and accessories only needed to be equipped. If he didn't work on these two aspects, it would be very difficult to increase his Strength. The Strength attribute on defensive equipment was very limited. Defensive equipment provided more Defense and HP.
Titles could increase attributes, but Chen Mo's active and passive titles added 40 Strength. This was something that other players couldn't compare to. If Chen Mo wanted to make a breakthrough in his title, he could only change to the Heinous Crime title.
Therefore, although Chen Mo didn't have a full set of Purple equipment, his Attack Power could be said to be the limit of a Level 20 player. It would be very difficult for him to increase it.
His Attack Power was comparable to Ceci Hailow's. Chen Mo was looking forward to Ceci Hailow's Attack Power.
Before he changed to a new weapon at Level 25, his Attack Power wouldn't increase by much. However, Ceci Hailow was a Degenerate. She was equivalent to a player's strongest state. When she recovered to a state that wasn't a Degenerate, her Attributes would definitely increase greatly. At that time, who knew how strong she would be.
After learning new skills and equipping new equipment, Chen Mo finally felt that he was a little stronger. Before this, he basically relied on his pets to fight. Now, he could finally fight on his own.
Returning to the outskirts of Eastsea Castle, the Seafolk's attacks were becoming more and more intense. The battle line was gradually shrinking towards Eastsea Castle. However, Chen Mo didn't care too much. Instead, he found a monster and called out Ceci Hailow to fight.
Chen Mo shot an arrow at a Fisherman with a powerful crossbow. A damage of more than 600 appeared!
"Hahaha!" Chen Mo laughed heartily.
Holy sh * t, this was too awesome. Before he changed his equipment, he could only deal around 300 damage. Now, his damage had doubled. He could stand shoulder to shoulder with Ceci Hailow!
Previously, he needed around 30 seconds to kill a Fisherman. Now, he and Ceci Hailow attacked together. It didn't even take 20 seconds!
The surrounding players who were killing monsters were stunned when they saw Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow's damage. "What kind of insane damage is this?!"
It was already good enough that they could only deal two to three hundred damage, but this guy actually dealt three times the damage!
In addition to that powerful and strange pet, his damage output alone was higher than their entire team. It was simply infuriating.
With his damage output so much stronger, Chen Mo's points naturally skyrocketed.
After an hour, Chen Mo's points reached more than 3,000. He finally squeezed out the 11th and 10th place and entered the top 10 in the rankings.
"I really don't know how those guys in the top 10 got their points." Chen Mo couldn't help but mutter.
However, when he thought about it carefully, if those guys in front of him were also equipped with Violet weapons and accessories, their attack power would be similar to his. In fact, due to the difference in their classes, their attack power would be higher than his. Naturally, it wouldn't be strange for them to obtain more points than him.
It wouldn't be strange for a main city to have more than 10 people with Violet weapons and accessories. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that this was considered a small number. After all, there were so many players in the China Region. There were countless rich people. As long as they had the goods, money wouldn't be a problem at all.
Chen Mo had arrived a bit later than the players in front of him. Now that their damage output wasn't lower than his, it would be very difficult for Chen Mo to catch up. Even with Ceci Hailow, it would be the same. After all, they were so far ahead from the start. Even if he obtained more points, catching up to them wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time.
However, Chen Mo knew that his speed of accumulating points wouldn't be slower than the people in front of him. As long as he had enough time, catching up to them was only a matter of time.
It was already past 9 PM. Chen Mo calmed down and continued to kill monsters. His points continued to increase. At 10 PM, he reached the 8th place. At 11 PM, he reached the 7th place.
His ranking was rising, but the speed was much slower than Chen Mo expected.
"Could it be that those guys have other ways to increase their points?" Chen Mo thought to himself.
Even if the players in front of him had similar damage output as him, he had Ceci Hailow. Ceci Hailow wouldn't share the points with him. In terms of total damage output, the people in front of him shouldn't be able to match up to him.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that there might be some super overpowered players who had special ways to deal more damage than him. However, it was impossible for all six of them to be like that. He couldn't catch up to the top six for so long. There must be something going on that he didn't know about.
At 12 PM, Chen Mo had more than 7,000 points (5,300 available points), but he was still in the 6th place. It was obvious that the people in front of him knew something that he didn't!
The sky began to turn dark. The monster siege was still ongoing. It was far from over.
But what was different from the usual darkness was that when the sky turned dark, a thick sea fog floated over from the distant Sea of Miracles.
The abnormal sea fog alerted many players. However, the sea fog only seemed to reduce the players' vision. It didn't have any effect on the players in the East Maritime City.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded in the ears of all the players.
"City Lord Announcement: Seafolk invaders have appeared in and around the East Maritime City. Killing these invaders will give you a large amount of points as a reward!"
Seafolk invaders?
Chen Mo was puzzled. Could it be that they had joined the Seafolk?
Just as he was thinking, Chen Mo suddenly raised his head. His body flashed and he saw a red figure in the thick sea fog in front of him. An arrow was flying toward him!
When he noticed the arrow, it was already very close. It was too late for him to dodge!
Chen Mo didn't have much more HP than other players. He only had a little over 2,000 HP. If he encountered a powerful player, three or four arrows would be enough to kill him. He didn't want to be hit by this arrow.
Ceci Hailow!
At the same time that Chen Mo flashed, Ceci Hailow also moved. She blocked the arrow that was flying toward him.
