Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 292
Chapter 292 Partner Systems
Resurrection City Dueling Arena.
Xu You turned around and used the [Wave Two Stage Slash] to send out the ice shadow that was trying to sneak attack him from its stealth state. However, the two Stage Slash only sent out a single damage number: “-1554!” Ice Shadow lost the duel.
Seeing that Bingying was half-kneeling on the ground without saying anything, Xu You sighed and said, “There’s no need to fight anymore. The difference between our levels and equipment is too great. It’s very difficult for you to even hit me, let alone defeat me. Furthermore, you’re not in your current state. Forget it.”
After arriving at the dueling arena for half an hour, the duel between the two lasted more than 20 times. All of them ended in Xu You’s victory. Because Xu You was six levels taller than Bingying and was equipped with the Eternal Love Ring, his attack strength had already exceeded 2100. The [Wave Two Stage Slash] was unable to even slash out the second slash. Bingying lost and had no ability to retaliate.
However, Bingying repeatedly applied for a duel, making Xu You feel helpless. Was this woman in love broken? The problem was that she was only one-sided, so where did she get the disappointment of falling in love?
Hearing Xu You’s persuasion, Bingying still didn’t say anything. After sitting down to replenish his HP, he silently applied for a duel. Xu You secretly scolded himself for meddling, but in the end, he accepted the application.
3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, the duel begins! The ice shadow entered stealth again and quickly rushed towards Xu You. Then, it teleported and appeared behind Xu You. It used its fastest speed to launch a “sneak attack” on Xu You. In these 20 duels, the ice shadow did the same thing and did not change a single time. This was also the reason why Xu You said that the ice shadow was not in its current state. Xu You could handle it with her eyes closed.
However, this time, the ice shadow hit Xu You. Although it was still missing, this was the first time her dagger had touched Xu You. This caused the ice shadow to be stunned because Xu You didn’t move at all. Facing Xu You’s actions, the ice shadow forcefully threw the dagger to the ground and walked to Xu You’s front. She coldly asked, “What are you doing?”
“I told you to fight. Didn’t you want to vent your anger? If I didn’t move, wouldn’t you be able to fight more happily?” Xu You put away his Dragon Fangs and looked at the frosty Bingying.
“Listen! I don’t need your pity. Take out your weapon and fight me!” Bingying wanted to grab Xu You by the collar. Unfortunately, Xu You was wearing heavy armor in the game, so Bingying grabbed Xu You by the neck and said angrily.
“I didn’t pity you, because you’re not worthy of pity. I didn’t move, I just didn’t want to waste my energy.” Xu You was 1.8 meters taller than Bingying by nearly 10 centimeters, so Xu You looked down at Bingying and said indifferently, not caring that Bingying treated him so impolitely.
“You …”
Xu You’s lips curled into a disdainful smile as he interrupted Bing Ying, “What am I? What do you think I am? I am not your slave, nor am I your servant. I don’t need to listen to your orders. Being able to accompany you here is already benevolent and righteous. You’d better not push your luck any further.”
“I…”
“What are you? Didn’t you despise me and say that I’m not a man after I lost my love? But look at what you look like now. You haven’t even fallen in love yet. Why are you crazy? Bing Feng doesn’t like you. You’re not his person. Who did he meet? What does he have to do with you? Why are you jealous of Blood Rose?” Xu You’s words were like a sharp blade, constantly cutting through the weakest part of the Ice Shadow’s heart, causing the wounds inside to drip with blood again.
Even a fool could tell that Bing Ying was sad about the freezing again. This infatuated woman made Xu You feel extremely helpless. If Bing Ying hadn’t accompanied Xu You to go crazy when he was “in love”, Xu You wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention to her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Xu You became. He threw away Bingying’s hand that was holding his neck and pointed at Bingying and scolded, “I say, how stupid is this woman? Are all the good men in the world dead?” Why do you have to like Bingfeng? What’s so good about that guy? If it was good, how could Blood Rose not like him? Feelings cannot be forced. If you continue like this, you will be the one who will suffer in the end, but Bingfeng will not have any pity and cherish for you! ”
“Woo … woo!” After hearing this, Bingying finally couldn’t hold back his tears. He cried even harder. Fortunately, other than Xu You and Bingying, no one else was in the dueling arena. Otherwise, someone would have recorded a video and posted it on the forum. Xu You had to explain it to his women again.
Seeing Bingying finally stand in front of him crying, Xu You finally reacted. He patted his forehead and muttered, “I seem to be overly excited. Faint, what did I say? What does this have to do with me?”
However, the sound of Ice Shadow crying was extremely ear-piercing in the spacious dueling arena. Xu You didn’t want to attract any players to watch, so he said to Ice Shadow, “Hey, stop crying.”
But how could Bingying ignore him and continue crying? Xu You was helpless and said, “I was impulsive just now. It’s good that you didn’t hear me.”
“You said it all, how can you pretend you didn’t hear it?” Bing Ying cried and scolded.
Hearing this, Xu You shrugged his shoulders and did not reply. Just like that, a few minutes passed. Xu You was annoyed, so he turned around and walked out of the dueling arena. He did not have time to cry with this woman. However, Bingying noticed Xu You’s departure. He quickly wiped away his tears and choked, “Where are you going?”
“Go and train. Continue crying. I’ll be leaving first.” Xu You didn’t turn around, he just raised his hand and waved it.
“Le Wuyou, accompany me to drink, okay?” A few minutes later, the ice shadow finally stopped crying.
Xu You stopped and turned around to look at the ice shadow. The ice shadow that had just cried was dressed in an ice blue leather armor, just like an ice lotus that had just been drenched by the heavy rain. Xu You hesitated for a moment before saying, “Let’s go.”
Looking at Xu You’s back, Ice Shadow’s gaze was complicated.
…
Time passed day by day. Players with experience gained speed. Most of them seized the time to level up within 15 days after the calamity. However, due to the very low level of the players in Steel Castle, it was only in mid-November, the 13th day after the calamity, that the average level of players in China had risen to Level 40.
After the average player level rose to LV40, the game opened up a new system. That was the pet system. However, the pet of this pet system did not mean that the hunter profession caught a baby beast. The pet system of the New World was also different from the previous games. Pets of this system were not allowed to fight for players.
So what’s the use of these pets? This was also a problem that Xu You was worried about. There was no introduction on the game forum. It was just that this pet system was unique and required players to explore it themselves. After November 12, the day the pet system opened, players would receive a mission to ask their professional tutors about their pets.
Thus, Xu You, who was very interested in pets, went to the red brick building in the training ground in Sunrise City Center to look for Dick. Ever since he came here, Dick had never returned to the first dock to be a decadent man.
“Are you saying that a pet is just a little companion with additional attributes, incapable of fighting?” Xu You asked in disbelief after hearing Dick’s introduction.
“That’s right, this is the unique companion of your migrants. Our aborigines are unable to catch these little things.” Dick nodded.
‘”No wonder the authorities call this system a companion system. Well, it seems that only the three branches of the [New World] can have pets to help fight. But that’s not fair. Why can those professions have combat pets? We knights and warriors don’t have any.” Xu You was extremely disappointed. Originally, he wanted to have a pet fight with him. When he was practicing leveling alone, he wasn’t that lonely. Although in his current situation, he basically wouldn’t be practicing leveling alone anymore.
“Do you understand?” Dick asked again when he saw Xu You’s silence.
“Understood.” Xu You said wearily.
The pets in this pet system were generally called “little companions”. Like small animals, they were everywhere on the Victorious Continent. However, small animals were not allowed to be captured, while little companions were. In the past, the pet system was not open, and players did not know what the difference was between the two, so they treated it as one thing.
The role of a little companion was to increase the attributes of its owner or some special effects, such as increasing endurance, strength, critical strike rate, hitting rate, and so on.
At the same time, a little companion could be upgraded. The higher the level, the more additional attributes would be added. The level of a little companion was higher, and the additional attributes would not be less than the attributes of an Epic equipment of the same level.
In addition, a small companion was a special unit, unable to fight for its master or be killed.
Little companions were also divided into three grades. They were Normal, Excellent, and Top Grade 3. Normal-grade companions only had one basic attribute or special effect. Excellent-grade companions had two additional attributes, while Top Grade companions had three. In other words, if they were Top Grade companions, they would be almost like an Epic Equipment when they were promoted to Advanced.
Then, choose which attribute you want to add, It depends on the occupation of the player. For an export-oriented occupation like Xu You, the main attribute is Strength, so you choose a partner who can increase strength. For a tank like Unyielding, you naturally need to increase endurance. However, if you can catch a higher-grade one, you can increase both Strength and Endurance. That would be even better for Unyielding and Xu You.
However, everyone knew that the more precious things were, the harder it would be to obtain them. A top-grade companion was even rarer than an Epic-grade equipment. Therefore, Xu You’s requirements were not high. It was good to just grab one that could increase his strength. In any case, this companion was only half an item of equipment in his eyes.
However, Dick knew what Xu You was thinking. He smiled and said, “No, you don’t need a companion with attributes and special effects. Go to Heavenly Wind Mountain. There’s a companion called ‘Light’ there. You just need to catch one.”
“Light? What attribute?”
“You said that you didn’t add any attributes. You’ll know when you catch one.” Dick said.
