Chapter 8: Rejuvenation Spell

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The matter of Zhang Shan and Thousand Miles Riding Alone joining the guild was settled. The three of them farmed the rabbits while chatting. Especially Thousand Miles Riding Alone, it was as if he had taken a stimulant that he kept on talking.

Just as Zhang Shan killed a rabbit with a single shot, a ray of light fell into th packsge of Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes.

“Haha, finally a piece of equipment dropped. Wind Chimes Beauty, let’s take a look at what class it is. Speaking of which, we have all three classes. It’s definitely something we can use,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said excitedly.

Speaking of which, ever since they had obtained the rough iron armor that Thousand Miles Riding Alone was wearing, they had killed at least 600 monsters but only received a piece of equipment now. Moreover, their luck was still so high. The item drop rate was really depressing.

Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes displayed the item in the team channel. It was not equipment, but a skill book.

Rejuvenation Spell: instantly heals 100 HP after casting a spell. Lasts for 5 seconds, heals 20 HPhp every second. Consumes 50 magic points. 30 second cooldown time. Class requirement: Priest and Witch Doctor.

“D*mn it! A small monster actually dropped a skill book. Does this item drop randomly? Logically speaking, a rabbit was a physical monster. It should be a strength-type monster. How could it be Rejuvenation Spell? A rabbit doesn’t have anything to do with healing, right?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone cried out.

Zhang Shan was also surprised. Did a small monster drop a skill book?

“This book just happens to be something I need urgently, so give it to me. I’ll pay 10,000 blue coins, and I’ll transfer 5,000 to each of you later.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes was also very excited. Without healing support, she had no sense of presence at all.

“There’s no need to pay. If an item drops, we’ll give it to whoever uses it. We don’t want it. We’ll only split the money if it’s sold to outsiders,” Zhang Shan said.

“Yes, yes, there’s no need to pay. It was randomly dropped to you, to begin with. If you pay, it’ll be difficult to get the equipment and skill books that we use next time,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone chimed in.

“Alright then. It’s a pity that I didn’t leave any skill points. I’ll only have skill points to learn when I reach level 3. I never thought that the book that I use would drop,” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes said happily.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s hurry up and farm. As soon as everyone reaches level 3, we can go and fight higher-level monsters. That way, we can level up faster.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said loudly.

Unfortunately, the idea was good. But in reality, more and more people had reached level 2. They all ran over to hunt rabbits. Rabbits were run out for farming. If not for Zhang Shan’s Hunter class a long-ranged class, it was not even possible to snatch the monsters if they rely on Thousand Miles Riding Alone and Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes.

“Are there no other level 2 monsters? Why are they all running over to hunt rabbits?” Zhang Shan asked Thousand Miles Riding Alone. As after they leveled up together, Thousand Miles Riding Alone had gone out to open a new map on his own. He should have seen more than one type of monster.

“There’s also a frog monster on the side, which is also level 2. However, that kind of monster is too disgusting. It’s actually a long-ranged attack. Although its attack power is much lower than the rabbit’s, only 20 points, its HP is 200. It’s not worth it to farm it. I reckon that no one will go and farm frogs for the time being.”

“What about the level 3 monsters? Do you see anything easy to kill?” Zhang Shan was still a little unhappy. There were more people than monsters. How was this going to work?

At this moment, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes bell said, “Don’t think about level 3 monsters for the time being. I heard from our guild members that the HP of Level 3 monsters is 500. If you don’t have any defensive equipment, you can’t fight them at all. Moreover, you have to bring an HP bottle to replenish your HP. Unless you have more than two green equipment, otherwise, no one can farm them without getting hurt.”

“Are all the monsters in the New World so ruthless? Not to mention green equipment, I don’t even have a white tier item. Does this mean that the players have to farm the chicks until tomorrow?” When he heard that the level 3 monsters were so strong, Zhang Shan could not help but wail.

Just as Zhang Shan was complaining endlessly, white light fell into his package.

“Hehe, another item dropped. Let me see.” Zhang Shan smiled smugly.

He opened the package and saw a helmet. He was speechless. It was another piece of equipment for Thousand Miles Riding Alone. There was none for him to use.

After displaying the helmet, he directly gave it to Thousand Miles Riding Alone.

Rough Iron Helmet (white): defense +3, equipment level: level 1, durability 5-5, equipment type: plate armor type.

After Thousand Miles Riding Alone put on the helmet, he was covered in iron armor and helmet holding an ax. He looked like a Berserker.

“Haha, I have 15 points of defense now. I think we should go and farm frogs. I should be able to take it. It’s annoying to keep fighting for monsters with others.” After equipping with the helmet, Thousand Miles Riding Alone said confidently.

“15 points of defense to take the monster’s 20 points of attack is not a problem. Basically, I won’t lose any HP. However, Six Guan Bodhisattva wants to farm passive skills. If we don’t farm rabbits, it would be a pity for his talent.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes was still thinking about Zhang Shan’s talent.

“Let’s go and farm the frogs. When everyone sleeps at night. I’ll farm the rabbits by myself. This is a matter of probability. I don’t think I’ll have the chance to trigger it anytime soon.” There were more people here than the monsters, so it was a waste of time.” Zhang Shan looked at his EXP bar 722/1000 after saying that. The rabbits that he had killed for almost half an hour had less than 300 EXP. It was much slower than he had imagined. This speed was even slower than farming chicks.

“Okay, I’ll lead the way. The frog monster is not far ahead. We’ll reach in two minutes.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone carried his ax after saying this, leading the way to the map beside him.

Zhang Shan and Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes followed Thousand Miles Riding Alone for a short while before arriving at the new map. The map was full of frogs, but there were not many players. Only a few long-ranged classes were farming there.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone slashed a Fallen Leaf Slash with his ax at a frog. The -45 damage appeared above the frog’s head, but the frog only dealt 2 damage to him. Thus there was no pressure on him to hold on.

With the attacks of the three of them, the frog quickly fell to the ground. The efficiency was fast. It was great to be able to hold on against so many monsters, and the EXP soared.

10 minutes later, Zhang Shan reached level 3.

System: Congratulations to player Six Guan Bodhisattva for reaching level 3. Skill Points +1, all attributes +2, free attribute points +5.

He kept the skill points, all attributes were +agility.

Checking the attributes:

Character: Six Guan Bodhisattva

Class: Hunter

Level: 3

Health: 140

Magic points: 60

Physical attack: 25-29

Magic attack: 9-9

Strength: 9

Agility: 24

Intelligence: 9

Defense: 4

Luck: 9 (randomly generated within a range of 1-10. Luck is a hidden attribute and will never change.)

Talent: Passive King (every time a monster is killed, there is a chance to randomly obtain a passive skill from the monster. The probability is one in a million).

Skill 1, Headshot: (passive) , level: level 3. Every attack of the Hunter has a chance to trigger the Headshot effect, causing an additional 50 damage and stunning for 0.05 seconds, the chance of triggering 1%.

Equipment: novice clothes, novice musket.

“Six Guan Bodhisattva, you have leveled up?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone and Wind-Blowing Wind Chime asked almost at the same time.

“Yeah, I’m level 3 now, but I’m not that much stronger. My attack power and agility are only 25-29. It’s a pity that I don’t have any equipment.” Zhang Shan complained helplessly.

A total of three items had dropped, but none was for him. If he did not increase his attack power, he would be a weakling. He was thinking that his attack power would have to be at least 50, then only he could farm rabbits alone at night. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight.

“Don’t worry, the game has only started for less than two hours. You will have the equipment. Moreover, high-level monsters have a lot of EXP. Leveling up later won’t be too late.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes said to comfort Zhang Shan.

Just then, a ray of light fell into Zhang Shan’s package.

Opening the package, Zhang Shan saw a ring lying quietly in the bag, shining with a green light.

“Haha, I finally got equipment for my use. I’m going to become stronger.” Looking at the attributes of the ring, Zhang Shan’s face was full of excitement. He was finally not weak anymore.

He displayed the attributes of the ring on the team channel

Black Iron Ring (green): physical attack 5-8, agility +1, equipment level 1, durability 10-10.

Wearing the black iron ring, his attack reached 31-38. With this attack power, he could now farm rabbits by himself.

“Oh my God, why does it increase agility? If it increases strength, isn’t that what I use? Also, why do all the items fall into your inventory and never drop into mine? There’s no problem with the team allocation setting, it’s just randomly assigned.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone wailed endlessly.

“Hurry up and farm monsters so that we can reach level 3 as soon as possible. Once we level up, we’ll farm level 5 monsters. Level 5 monsters give us many times more EXP. My brother is only farming level 5 monsters. He’s already level 4, and he’s almost level 5.” Seeing Thousand Miles Riding Alone wailing, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes urged him.

“Are we able to fight level 5 monsters? After all, level 3 monsters have 500 HP.” Zhang Shan did not understand why Storm of the World could farm level 5 monsters.

“Level 5 monsters are not much stronger than level 3 monsters. It’s just that they have more HP. They have 1,000 HP, and their attack power is slightly higher than level 3 monsters. Their attack power is around 50.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes must have been communicating with the members of the Storm Guild. Although Zhang Shan and Thousand Miles Riding Alone had been invited to join the guild, they did not know anyone of them. If they did not ask, no one would tell them anything.

After another 10 minutes, Thousand Miles Riding Alone and Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes had both leveled up to level 3.

After Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes leveled up, she immediately learned the Rejuvenation Spell. She raised her hand and cast the spell on Thousand Miles Riding Alone, instantly restoring his HP to full. Above his head, +20 +20 +20 +20 +20 kept popping up.

The little beauty said happily, “I’m finally acting like support. Come, let’s go to the wild boar forest. My brother and the others are also farming wild boars there. One wild boar gives 50 EXP. The three of us will split it equally. Each of us will get around 17 points. Leveling up would be very fast.”

“Wind Chimes Beauty, you will just be responsible for healing me. The two of us will just farm the monsters. After healing, you will sit down and recover your magic power.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone told her about the plan for cooperation.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. The three of us will kill the monsters together. I will first go to the grocery store to buy the little blue potion. Just now, the little secretary gave me 2,000 copper coins. Adding a few hundreds of my own copper coins, I can buy over 200 little blue potions. It’s enough for us to level up.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes waved her hand generously and refused.

“What a luxury!” Zhang Shan could not help but marvel at the magnanimity of the tycoon.

“That’s nothing. There’s an investment return. You’ll find out in the future.”

“Speaking of which, you guys can really receive so many copper coins? Is there really someone who can sell them?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone asked in puzzlement.

“That’s not unusual. There are a thousand people in the novice village. Even if only a hundred people intend to sell their copper coins, we can still receive tens of thousands. That’s enough to pay for the potions for several people.” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes explained.

“Let’s go back to the novice village together. I need to repair my white plate armor. Otherwise, its durability will be gone soon.”

The novice equipment given by the system did not have durability. It would never wear out. However, the equipment that was obtained had durability. If it was used too much, one would need to repair it. Otherwise, if the durability was gone, the equipment would disappear.

“I’ll go back and replenish some bullets, too.” Although Zhang Shan still had more than 2,000 bullets in his bag, the level 5 monster area should be quite far from the novice village. It was better to bring more at a time so that he would not have to run back and forth.
