Pro Player: Conqueror
Chapters 18.
The Frost Mound was as cold and sinister as before. Bronze poles protruded from the ground, images of demons etched on its surface. The heads of humans, ferocious beasts, succubi and so on were pierced at the ends. Succubi are naturally seductive, and most of them are women. That is also why most succubi in the game are female players.
I entered the Frost Mound and stopped in front of Sentinel Leader Fark. As I spoke to him, the careless skeletal warrior swung his hand and laughed. “Small frame, your growth is really impressive. Looking at your current strength, I have decided to entrust you with a very difficult quest! ”
I dipped my head slightly and replied, “Give me that!”
“For the past few days, an Undead Lord has been living in the Frost Mound Necropolis for a long time. Before he died, this Undead God was a noble human and a knight. When he has invaded our territory, I want you to kill him, little skeleton. Of course, this Undead God is extremely powerful, so our strongest undead sword leader, Suren, will accompany you. However, you should bring him 40 Spiky Spiky Spiky Fingers first. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to help you kill the Undead Lord, Cyan Rain! “
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have received the search [Undead Lord Cyan Rain]! (Search Rank: E)
Description: Go to the inside of the Frost Mound Necropolis and kill 200 Spiky Skeletons. Gather 40 Spiky Spiky Spiky Fingers and give them to the Surde Swordmaster Undead.
I'm very excited. An E rank quest was extremely prestigious, quite possibly the highest ranked quest a player could receive at this stage of the game. Heh, looks like I'm going to be rich!
* *
I entered the Frost Mound Camp, bought some pots from the NPCs and repaired my equipment. Once everything was ready, I set out to do a search!
As I walked slowly along the small forest path, I could see Gui Guzi moving away. He leveled up very, very efficiently, killing skeletons every two or three blows before using some sort of skill to gain additional experience.
I'm not bothering him. I continued walking deeper into the grave for nearly ten minutes until the ground became darker, and the stench grew thicker. Many gravestones appeared in front of me.
There were many terrifying figures everywhere, and I focused my attention on a skeletal warrior whom I had never seen before. Sharp spikes protruded from all over his body, and they were dyed with a cold green light. I wonder what is so incredible about this Level 21 skeleton?
Uh, more action, less thinking. Here goes!
I rushed towards the enemy and struck the Tapered Skull hard on the shoulder. Crack down! The Forest Green Blade sank right into his body.
170!
My attack did considerable damage, taking up more than half of his HP. However, I also felt pain when my attacks were connected. I actually lost 8 HP from my own attack!
It sounded!
Combat Log: You use “Slayer Slash”, deliver 170 damage to Spiky Skeleton. Spiky Skeleton uses “Damage Reflect”, resulting in 8 damage!
Motherfucker! Reflected Damage?
Fortunately, 5% is still within my limits. If it's as high as say, 20%, then I can go out and go to sleep now.
Now that my opponent is at a higher level, the attack power of the Forest Green Blade is starting to fall behind. It took me almost half a minute to kill the Skeleton Spiky, and it was slower than I wanted.
That being said, the experience of a Level 21 mob was meaningless to mock. I can see my experience bar showing up after the murder. At this rate, I will probably reach Level 20 once this quest is complete. I will be one step closer to my goal of reaching Level 30!
After killing the other 3 Spiky Skeletons, I finally got my first Spiky Skeleton Finger. There was nothing special about it; just bones that happened to be search items.
I roamed the forest and kept looking for isolated enemies to kill. The Spiky Skeleton's attack power was extremely high, and I got considerable damage even with 37 Defense. In general, I have to drink 1 health potion for every 3 kills, which means I burn my money at an astounding rate. Fortunately, I had plenty of silver to spare, and the drop item turned out to be better than I had imagined!
Pop!
A magic stone appeared after Spiky Skeleton died resplendently in my hand, causing my eyes to widen. That was because that magic stone was a Great Magic Stone! I don't think that it's possible for a general horde of – high levels maybe – to drop a Great Magic Stone! The previous Quality 77 Great Magic Stone that I obtained was sold for an exorbitant price of 15 silver, and its quality was 55. If my calculations are correct, this thing could take at least 10 silver! Haha, I'm rich! I'm rich!
I stuffed the Great Magic Stone into my bag and went back to killing. Ten minutes later, my luck loomed again and gave me 67 Quality Big Magic Stones! This one is even more expensive than the one before!
I continued grinding for another two hours, but I never got the Big Magic Stone again after that. I did obtain 4 Little Magic Stones, even though they were no longer considered valuable at my level. Still, every copper is counted, and there is no reason not to store it. Raw money is a hot commodity in the early stages of the game, and there is still no way to exchange real money for in-game currency. The only way is to trade offline. But everyone is a noob now, so how many people can have the luck and skill to amass almost 1 gold of wealth like me?
It sounded!
I turned the page, and the ID column entered my view. This is the Top 10 players Floating Ice City—
Name Wind Fantasy .25 level. class Wanderer Light
Name of the Mage God. 23 Level. Mages
Name of the Knight God. 23 Level. Magic Knight Class
Name of the Archer God. 23 Level. Archer Class.
The name of the warrior God. 23 Level. Class fighter
The hot sun. 22 Level. Class fighter
Gui Guzi's. 22 Level. The Undead Knight Class
Name Roaming Dragon. 21 Level. Magic Knight Class
Name Clear perfume. 21 Level. Archer Class
The Cloud Sky River. 21 Level. Mage Class
For a moment, I was completely silent. Who would have thought that the waters in the Ice Floating City were this deep? Also, I was really surprised to find four people from the Domination Clan in the top rank. Who're they? So far, it seems like they have the highest chance of ruling over Floating Ice City. . .
But of course, true pros don't show themselves until they're ready.
Gui Guzi himself looked high spirited. Despite only sleeping three hours a day and having already been killed by me many times, this crazy leveler still stuck to the top rank. He really deserves the title of crazy generalizing.
Of course, the ID that caught my attention the most was Wind Fantasy. Not only was the Light Wanderer not an ordinary Wanderer class, the level of Wind Fantasy was higher than the others. He was the creme de la creme, and it was revealed on the official forums that Wind Fantasy was among the Top 3 even when compared to all the other players in the nine cities! This guy deserves my full attention. He could be the biggest obstacle in the way the Ancient Dream Sword Soul guild had to dominate Floating Ice City!
I also noticed that the most powerful of us four elders, Xu Yang, is in the sixth place of the Heavenly Ranking. It seems like he is training like a madman too! Personally, my impression of the three elders of the Ancient Soul Dream Sword is not very good. Half a year ago, on He Yi's birthday, they came to me about making a collaborative effort to send He Yi a birthday wish. We are supposed to send every syllable— “ha”, “ppy”, “birth” and “day” – to his phone and complete the message “Happy Birthday”. However, they pulled me over and did not send their message as promised. I was the only one who did my part and sent my message, “birth”.
You can imagine how He Yi looked at me the next day. I met the first requirement of the search quite quickly, but the drop rate of the search item turned out to be very low. Despite grinding for almost 8 hours in a row — days it is morning — I am still 3 fingers short Spiky Skeleton.
Now, I have killed almost all of the Spiky Skulls that were in the grave, and standing in the middle of the sea of withered bones and wielding a sword is none other than the Undead God that I must kill.
I dare not attack him. I am now at Level 20, and I have entered the Top 100 again. I leveled for half an hour and got 2 Spiky Spiky Spikes in the process. One more, and I can drag my coach to help! I checked the time and noted that it was 10:30 in the morning. Surprisingly, I did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue. Then let's continue!
In the bustling business district of Shanghai, inside a conference room on the top floor of an office building.
The eight elites sat on two sides of the table and talked about business. Young lady at the farthest end of the table wearing a coffee-colored uniform and a badge with the name “He Yi” on it.
“Night? Now it's your turn . What do you think about this? ” insist a middle-aged man.
However, He Yi's attention was completely absorbed by the sky outside the window. Her beautiful eyes were tinged with sadness.
“Eve, what do you think of the performance drop this month?”
“Night?”
He Yi's long eyelashes slowly fluttered close in front of the directors, and tears slid down his soft and pale cheeks. He opened his mouth as if he was going to answer, but the words that came out of his mouth were, “But ... But Lu Chen ... he ..”
