Pro Player: Conqueror
Chapters 11.
“Aha, young skeleton, you are finally back!”
Sentinel Leader Fark swung his skinny hand and said in a silly voice, “Thank you for killing so many Skeleton Warriors yesterday, the Undead God hiding in the darkness finally showed himself. Right now he is gathering a lot of skeletons in the grave to mock us, so go over there, kill 200 Cyan skeletons and collect 20 Cyan skeleton fingers for me. You will be very expensive! “
I quickly clicked on “Receive” while rejoicing at the fact that I am the only player in Frost Mound right now. It is unlikely that a profitable quest like this would fall into my hands otherwise.
Ding ~!
System Notification: You have received the [Cyan Skeleton] search! (Quest Rank: F +)
Description: Go to the necropolis next to the Frost Mound, kill 200 Cyan Skeletons and collect 20 Cyan Skeleton Fingers. But be careful, a powerful Undead God has appeared there, and you are no match for him. Run away quickly if you meet her.
I am very proud of my recent success. 200 Cyan Skeletons? Hmph! I guess I'll be stuck to finish this quest for a while. That being said, it was time to see how Du Thirteen did. My noob brother should be finished with the village starting by the time I complete this quest.
I stopped in front of the Suren Undead Trainer to check if there were any new skills to learn. Unfortunately, there's nothing. Suren looked at me before taking out the cackle. “Small frame, you may feel hungry after some time, but don't worry, there is a lot of rotten meat in the necropolis to satisfy your hunger. Of course, you are free to find something fresher to eat. After all there were two human cities close to Frost Mound, hahaha! ”
The starving?
Suddenly I remembered the two pools of blood outside the Frost Mound. So it's the undead dining room!
Motherfucker! My stomach twitched unconsciously. That's too disgusting. I'd rather die than eat a corpse!
I checked my stat screen and found the satiety meter as instructed. Right now, my satiety is at 71 points. It should be enough to keep me going for a while. However, my stats would drop drastically once my satiety dropped below 20. I had to find something to eat then!
Uh, I can think about it later. At least I can't starve to death, right? Back to leveling!
I exited the Frost Mound and immediately ran towards the necropolis. The new masses had already respawned, but instead of the Level 12 Damage Skeleton Warriors I met the day before, they were now all Level 15 Cyan Skeletons! They were medium-level undead whose bodies were surrounded by cyan light.
Level 15 monsters? Not bad! Normally, I wouldn't be able to challenge them at my current level, but with 3 pieces of Iron-level equipment — Luminous Chest Armor, Black Bracers, and the impossible Forest Green Blade — is now possible!
I looked around for a moment. Hmm, there are fewer enemies in the south. It's perfect for solo leveling.
I secretly took out the Cyan Skeleton before ambushing it like lightning!
“Slayer Slash!”
I screamed softly and activated my skill. A greenish glow enveloped my sword before it smashed into the Cyan Skeleton right on the shoulder!
157!
Not bad, my attack power is as impressive as ever!
After my initial success, I immediately proceeded with two basic attacks. They do deal less damage than Slayer Slash, but they're still pretty good.
“Grrr!”
The Cyan Skeleton growled in response. Since it was a high-level horde, it launched a counterattack without hesitation!
Pu's!
That green bony sword pierced through my chest. Unfortunately for you, all I have is a rib! You can't penetrate my heart because I don't have it!
94!
However, my composure soon dimmed when I saw a large number appear above my head. Despite being at Level 11, I only have 230 HP. This means that the Cyan Skeleton can kill me in just 3 blows. The good news was that the skeleton had great attack power, but its movement and attack speed were poor. It was the perfect horde for my ultimate tactic of — hitting my enemies with superior speed!
Rustle rustle!
I zig-zag my way around the Cyan Skeleton. Although it roared over and over again, it could not turn around fast enough to face me. By the time it moved to one side, I had already moved to the other. Overall, I avoided at least 75% of his attacks.
From start to finish, the Cyan Skeleton only managed to attack me twice before I killed him after seven strikes!
“Abrow!”
The Cyan skeleton died and increased my experience bar. Moreover, it was good enough to drop me a Small Magic Stone of Quality 98 and a Cyan Skeleton Finger to put me on a good start!
I took a handsome gift and threw it in my bag. Then, I went to look for the next Cyan Skeleton.
I continued to train casually while checking the level rankings of Floating Ice City. It was then that I realized my rank had dropped to 127th. Wow, these guys must have been grinded all night while I slept. What crazy efficiency.
The previous highest level player, Wind Fantasy dropped to 5th place; currently at Level 14, players might have logged out to rest. The previous runner-up, Gui Guzi, claimed the spot instead. This undead knight was now Level 16! Really crazy people!
A smile flashed across my face. Well, relax. Level means nothing. It's not like I level up slowly myself. By the time I finish with this quest, I might have already reached Level 14 or 15. Those levels were important in the early games, but so were the equipment. A high-level player with no equipment to match was merely an empty shell.
In addition, I also found a familiar ID in the ratings; hot Sun . It was Xu Yang, the strongest of the four elders of the Ancient Dream Sword Soul guild.
Xu Yang and I received the invitation at almost the same time when He Yi created the Ancient Dream Sword Soul a year ago. Together with two beautiful women, the four of us are collectively known as “Sunmoon Stardust”. The first word of the title, “Sun” was taken from Xu Yang ID, and the last word, “Debu” was taken from my previous ID.
The years passed, and after a series of ups and downs, the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls guild was slaughtered by the Martial God guild, “Candle Dragon” until five people were left: we are four elders and the boss, He Yi. It was an unforgettable period to say the least.
I don't think that Xu Yang will reappear in Floating Ice City as the 21st player on the ranking list. Unless there was an accident, he would probably serve the Ancient Soul Dream Sword like before!
I decided to become someone who stood out in Floating Ice City. After I succeed, I will return to the Ancient Dreaming Souls Souls and create a new page of history with He Yi!
“Grrr..”.
I killed another Cyan Skeleton, absorbing the undead sparks and replenishing my spirit. Suddenly, a thought entered my mind. Oh right, I haven't used the “Death Plunder” skill yet, have I?
It was a skill that allowed users to plunder corpses. Maybe give me some unexpected gifts.
I crouched on the ground and spread my hands. A green circle emerged from my palm and surrounded the remains of the Cyan skeleton. A few days later, I got a new loot!
Shabby cotton
Quality: Horrible
Effect: None
Motherfucker! What a completely useless thing! I throw Ragged Cotton and look for my next target.
After that, I used Death Plunder on every horde I killed. However, the Cyan Skeleton gave a poor loot despite the overwhelming experience. 95% of the drops were Ragged Cotton, and the remaining 5% were completely non-existent.
After more than an hour, nearly a hundred Cyan Skeletons had perished under my sword. I have also reached Level 13, my experience bar is filled by 47%. So far, this leveling speed is impressive!
Crack down!
Once again, I absorbed the Cyan Skeleton spark and used Death Plunder after killing him.
Ding!
My eyes widen. Item dropped!
The Great Magic Stone
Quality: 41
Fuck, magic stone ?!
I can't stop grinning. The magic stone is money, and money is the source of life. Once the game opened at a certain point, the magic stone would become the life blood of many gaming workshops!
The Great Magic Stone takes about 1 to 20 silvers, and at this stage silver is a hot commodity. On the forums, it was rumored that many beginners who reached the city were unable to learn the skills of the class because their total wealth was only 1 or 2 silver! They must go and farm the magic stones!
Clearly, the drop rate of the magic stone was terrifying considering that I only obtained two magic stones after killing over a hundred skeletons. Therefore, the fact that Death Plunder can produce magic stones undoubtedly gives me an economical advantage over other players!
The spark of excitement continued with more grinding!
I slipped closer to the nearby Cyan Skeleton and was about to attack it when a sudden chill suddenly gripped my heart!
There's something in there!
Puchis!
I felt a stinging pain in the back of my head and checked my HP. 207 points are missing !? I almost got one shot!
I reacted quickly and rolled to safety. After I got back up and started running, I looked back and felt a surge of terror. The Undead Lord, at least two meters tall, was standing right where I was. The level is hidden to me. Obviously, it was much, much higher than mine, I almost became one shot despite the two pieces of armor level testimony to the strength of the crazy-high attack. Someone else must have been taken out.
“Desis hissis..”
The Undead God let out a low lament and got angry, clearly unhappy with the bully who was me. Right now, this is his territory.
No wonder the quest description was said to run if I found the Undead Lord, it was definitely not something I could challenge at my current level. Perhaps it was a Level 20 high-level boss, the kind that could slaughter anyone and everyone if it had been freed in the early village.
I trembled in fear but continued to kill more Cyan Skeletons. Currently, there was nothing more important than leveling and farming magic stones.
Another hour passed in the blink of an eye, and I was now Level 14 and 58%. I should have been able to reach Level 15 the moment I submitted the quest. Look, I know that my leveling speed is pretty good!
I counted the number of Cyan Skeleton Fingers I had. 19. I still need one more.
I looked up and found a solution to my problem, the stupid Cyan Skeleton who wandered aimlessly in front of me.
I laughed and jumped there. Suddenly, I stopped in midair and rolled into a nearby bush.
A figure emerged from the forest ahead. It was an undead wearing brown-yellow armor and wielding a pale blue spear. His skeleton face looked very creepy, and there was a line of text above his head—
Gui Guzi LV - 18 Undead Knight
Motherfucker! He was the highest level player of Floating Ice City!
My gaze turned several degrees colder as my killing intent emerged. It is clear that this newcomer was not well-meaning.
Gui Guzi looked around him calmly before facing my hiding place. “Get out of there, Son!”
