"There doesn't seem to be a Diablo 2 mod in my world, does there?"
The golden finger's prompt truly bewildered Yang Tao. If it was some equipment from Diablo 2 in Minecraft, he would believe it, but completely replicating the entire game into a mod? That would surely make the mod author exhausted to the point of collapse.
Yang Tao opened his backpack.
He wanted to see what exactly this so-called Diablo 2 mod contained. As soon as he opened it, his gaze was drawn to a new icon in the upper right corner of the backpack slot.
The icon had a dark gold letter D on it.
'This should be the first letter of Diablo…'
Yang Tao focused his attention on it, and a new interface appeared in his vision.
On a desolate plain, a campfire glowed faintly in the darkness. Several figures of various shapes sat around the campfire, the light from the flames illuminating their expressions.
'Is this the Diablo 2 character selection screen?'
This scene was too familiar, but after seeing the appearance of the figures, several black lines appeared on Yang Tao's forehead.
Everyone's face was his, but the problem was…
'Is this mod unfinished? Male characters are one thing! Why does the curvy Amazon warrior also look like me???'
Diablo 2 has a total of seven classes: Amazon, Assassin, Sorceress, Necromancer, Barbarian, Druid, and Paladin.
The first three are female characters, and the latter four are male characters.
A circle of people, both male and female, all looked exactly like him, which was truly too disharmonious.
"Are you even giving me a choice??"
Without another word, he immediately chose the Necromancer. Although it might be a bit difficult in the later stages, that's for other people!
Of course, there was another point: he was also worried, what if he chose Blizzard's favorite daughter, the Sorceress, and he himself became curvy?
As he thought, the scene on the interface disappeared, replaced by a new backpack and an empty equipment slot.
Forty empty slots.
"Since there's an equipment slot, there should be a stat slot and a skill slot too, right?"
As his thought emerged.
The backpack slot in front of him was replaced by the stat slot.
Life: 45 Mana: 25
Strength: 15
Agility: 25
Vitality: 15
Energy: 25
"Huh? No stamina limit? Wait, my health…"
He looked up at his health bar.
45 / 45
!!!
Yang Tao's expression changed slightly… Play is play, but don't joke about my health. I've built it up step by step.
He immediately switched his backpack.
Health 3321 / 3321
"Phew, you scared me. I thought my health was gone as soon as I changed professions."
The items in the two backpacks were not interchangeable. Yang Tao looked at the items the Zombie had just dropped.
Some gold coins, about 72, and a white-named short sword.
Short Sword
Damage 2-7
"Did changing professions not give me equipment? You're not giving equipment to a weak Necromancer??"
In the early stages, a Necromancer relies on the level one Summon Skeleton from their staff to get by.
"Since that's the case, I'll just have to balance it a bit…"
So, Yang Tao took out the Advanced Enchanting Table from his backpack and placed it in the corner of the wooden house.
"It's a good time to try out the effects of the better enchantments I've obtained…"
He placed the plain short sword into the Advanced Enchanting Table, and a moment later, a brand new short sword was born from it.
Short Sword
2-7
Durability 15 / 15
Advanced Looting III (approximately equal to Looting 9)
Unbreaking III
Other than that, Yang Tao did not enchant any other attributes onto this plain short sword.
"A little cheat isn't a cheat, it's just experiencing life… I just don't know if the +1 level small charm can be put into the workbench."
The reason he didn't use Mending was, first, he needed experience to level up, and second, he could spend energy to repair equipment.
He held the short sword in his hand and swung it lightly twice, a whooshing sound filling the air.
"The feel is pretty good."
Although its name was 'short sword', it was about sixty centimeters long and perfectly balanced, making it easy to use for both cutting and thrusting.
He walked to the door of the wooden house.
Looking at the rain that seemed to never stop.
"Sunny days are still more comfortable…"
Yang Tao raised his hand, and a red orb of flame quickly flew into the sky, finally disappearing into the clouds.
The continuous drizzle stopped, and warm sunlight penetrated the clouds, scattering onto the ground.
At the same time, in the Rogue Encampment, only tens of kilometers from Yang Tao, Akara, the High Priestess of the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye, emerged from her small tent, stretched out her somewhat rough hand, and softly murmured:
"The rain actually stopped…"
A hint of confusion appeared on her face beneath her hood, but in the end, she sighed and returned to her tent.
"The rain has stopped, it's time to embark on monster-slaying and leveling up… No, I can't be so vulgar in the future, I need to change it to training!"
Carrying the Transmutation Tablet and the short sword, he directly switched 'characters'. At this moment, he was no longer 'Steve' Yang Tao, but 'Necromancer' Yang Tao.
He walked out of the wooden house with the short sword in hand, stepping onto the damp earth, and headed towards the depths of this desolate plain.
He hadn't walked too far when several red figures came into his sight, and a few faint voices drifted from the monsters.
"Rakanishu!"
Yang Tao's eyes lit up when he saw them.
"Fallen!"
These creatures are the lowest-ranking demons in the Nether, basically food and bullying targets for other demons.
They have fiery red skin, a symbol of their life in the Burning Hells. In the Nether, these inconspicuous little guys can even be immune to all fire damage.
They were about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, carrying spiked clubs and shields in their hands.
"Three of them…"
Yang Tao didn't hesitate at all and immediately charged towards the three Fallen.
Health 16 / 16
Health 18 / 18
Health 17 / 17
The health of the three was not the same, but this health seemed a bit off.
In the game, the Fallen's health was seemingly 1 to 4 points, but the Fallen's health in this reality was clearly much higher.
When he got within a hundred meters, the little guys also noticed him, the uninvited guest.
Excitement appeared on their faces.
"Rakanishu!"
They raised the wooden clubs in their hands and charged towards Yang Tao, looking like it was mealtime at a cafeteria.
'They're quite fast…'
Yang Tao lightly swung the short sword in his hand, and it sliced across one of the Fallen's bodies. Even though he didn't train his skills much, he had participated in countless battles, so he still had some techniques.
The three Fallen swung their clubs at him, which he easily dodged, followed by a sweeping strike, and a series of damage numbers appeared above the Fallen's heads.
Finally, he thrust the short sword forward, plunging it deep into the head of the Fallen with the least health.
Pfft…
Blood splattered, and the Fallen, whose health was emptied, did a somersault and lay on the ground, lifeless.
The remaining two Fallen, who had already raised their spiked clubs and were about to strike, let out a terrified scream upon seeing their comrade's death, and without caring about anything else, they immediately turned and ran.
Yang Tao didn't pay attention to the two fleeing Fallen but instead picked up the dropped items.
'Should I get a Black Hole Band from Equivalent Exchange?'
The Black Hole Band from Equivalent Exchange, when activated and placed in the backpack, could widely absorb dropped items.
'Forget it, picking up equipment is also a kind of fun.'
