198: Chapter 198 The Ownership of the Restoration Spell

Xiao Niao: "However, even if you have many fantasy points, the cost of Gualing's Resurrection cannot be paid by you alone."

Tang Yao asked curiously: "Why is that?"

Xiao Niao: "Because we are a team, a team!"

Hu Gualing: "What is a 'timi'?"

Xiao Niao: "..." He had involuntarily used the foreign language he often used to motivate his startup partners during meetings, but he hadn't expected that Hu Gualing, who still didn't know many words even in his native language, wouldn't understand the foreign language, which really ruined the mood.

Xiao Niao said helplessly: "There is no 'timi'. What I mean is, we are a group. We adventure together to gain benefits, so we should also share the risks together. We can't just watch you bear the game points required for Resurrection yourself just because you are a melee fighter and die more easily, while I, as a ranged fighter with the highest safety coefficient, keep the game points safely in my pocket. That makes no sense. I think since we are a team, then every time we fight, no matter who sacrifices, no matter how many times they sacrifice, the consumed Resurrection points should be shared equally among everyone. What do you think?"

Xiao Niao originally felt a bit guilty because he saw Gualing and Tang Yao both fighting the Mutated White Wild Boar while he was the only one hiding in the back slacking off. That was why he thought that no matter how many game points were consumed for Resurrection during this battle, he should bear half of it. However, as he spoke, he thought of this equal distribution method and felt that it seemed more reasonable, so he proposed it.

Upon hearing this, Hu Gualing and Tang Yao also felt that what he said made sense. Because of the different division of labor and positioning during combat, the one most likely to die was certainly Hu Gualing, who was fighting the BOSS up close. It wouldn't do for him to fight the BOSS in close quarters for so long without fearing hardship or fatigue, only for him to have to bear the loss of game points for his own Resurrection in the end.

Tang Yao nodded in agreement: "I think Xiao Niao is right. This method of sharing equally is really suitable for our team!"

Hu Gualing thought for a while and then nodded happily in acceptance. He looked at Xiao Niao and praised him: "I've discovered that you kid, although your combat ability is very mediocre, the things you think of in your head are not bad."

Just as he said, Xiao Niao's damage output in battle was very limited, but often he could discover details that they had ignored or hadn't noticed at all, which provided considerable help to the battle. The most obvious example was just now, after the Mutated White Wild Boar's second life was killed and it fell to the ground, it was Xiao Niao who suggested clearing all the weak points on its body. Only then did the Mutated White Wild Boar truly die; otherwise, I'm afraid that Mutated White Wild Boar would have resurrected who knows how many more times.

Therefore, while Xiao Niao might seem like a dead weight, in reality, the team really couldn't do without him!

Hu Gualing looked at Xiao Niao and nodded secretly, thinking to himself that he had indeed made the right choice by bringing this guy Xiao Niao along to form a team and leave the village for an adventure.

Xiao Niao naturally didn't know about Hu Gualing's inner thoughts, but from Hu Gualing's gaze and expression, he could fully feel Hu Gualing's praise for him. A shy smile appeared on Xiao Niao's face, but he was also feeling a little bit happy inside.

"Alright, let's start calculating. In this BOSS battle, I resurrected once, Gualing resurrected three times. Each Resurrection in the Dungeon costs two revival coins. Plus, earlier outside, Xiao Niao also resurrected once, which should have consumed one revival coin. So, in total, it's nine revival coins, which is nine fantasy points. Each of us needs to bear three points." Tang Yao lived up to being a top student in her class; without even needing to count with her fingers, she calculated the fantasy points everyone needed to pay clearly in her head. Hu Gualing was both surprised and envious. If he had this kind of mathematical foundation back then, a mere junior college would have been a piece of cake!

After settling the account, Tang Yao and Xiao Niao each initiated a trade with Hu Gualing and transferred 2 fantasy points each.

After receiving the 4 fantasy points, Hu Gualing looked at the 11 fantasy points in his currency bar and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because he had been worried from the beginning that as a special currency, he didn't know if fantasy points could be traded freely between players. Now it seemed he had overthought it. The Development Team of this Fantasy Jianghu game was not as shameless as the domestic game manufacturers in reality. In that case, he didn't have to worry about his debt of 15 fantasy points to the game System.

"Then how do we distribute this 'Recovery Spell'?" Having resolved the doubts about why many places in the cave were different from the outside, and having resolved the worry about the debt to the System, the completely relaxed Hu Gualing turned his gaze to the blue-covered skill book in Tang Yao's hand and asked.

"I don't need it anyway." Tang Yao said, waving the skill book in her hand. She had even comprehended a skill like [Sword Heart], so in the future, she would most likely develop in sword skills. Moreover, once the 'Sword Heart Enlightenment' state was activated, she would only have eyes for her sword and her enemy. In that state of extreme focus, she might not remember that there was a 'Recovery Spell' skill, so it was better to let someone else learn it.

Hu Gualing rubbed his cheek and thought for a while, then said: "The description of this skill book says that the healing effect is determined by the Spirit value. The higher the Spirit value, the better the healing effect should be."

Hearing Hu Gualing's analysis, Tang Yao nodded in sudden realization. Her gaze flickered between Hu Gualing and Xiao Niao for less than a second before she unhesitatingly reached out and handed the skill book to Xiao Niao, "You should take it and learn it."

Watching Xiao Niao take the skill book, Hu Gualing couldn't stand it: "What's going on? Why didn't you ask for my opinion? Do I look less 'spirited' than Xiao Niao?" Although he wasn't very interested in this skill book—because as a tank character, he was often too busy dodging and blocking while fighting monsters in close quarters to have time to cast 'Recovery Spell' to heal himself—the fact that Tang Yao handed the skill book to Xiao Niao without any hesitation meant something. Was she questioning whether he was as 'spirited' as Xiao Niao?

Hearing his challenge, Tang Yao was taken aback, then she looked at the leather pants he was wearing and laughed happily: "Who would dare say you aren't spirited? It's just that I think, your 'spirit' and the Spirit stat are probably not the same thing, right?"

Hu Gualing was stunned and asked skeptically: "Is that so?"

Tang Yao laughed: "Alright, I think this 'Recovery Spell' should be given to Xiao Niao. Setting aside the question of being 'spirited', among the three of us, only he stands in the back and observes the combat situation the most carefully. He can clearly see who has lost health and whose health is in danger, so it's perfect for him to use this skill to heal us."

"That makes sense, that makes sense." Seeing that Tang Yao acknowledged he was 'spirited', Hu Gualing didn't hold a grudge. Moreover, 'Recovery Spell' should naturally be learned by a ranged priest class; standing in the back away from monsters allows one to better heal teammates. Letting Xiao Niao take on this role was indeed the most suitable choice among the three of them.

Xiao Niao didn't stand on ceremony. After getting the skill book, following the information he had obtained from communicating with Hu Gualing before, he patted it with his hand. He saw the blue-covered skill book in his hand flash with light, turn into a blue beam, and merge into his body, disappearing.
