Chapter 101

At 11 PM, I had been online for at least 24 hours . At last, a glowing light appears as I reach level 45 . The crest on my shoulder also sparkles . Above my head in a faint glimmer are the words: Ba Huang City ranked 7th!

Carrying the Jade City Sword, I enter the ruins inside Fire Stone Canyon . Looking into the distance, I can see a few monsters but I don’t have any interest in them . I want to immediately go back to Ba Huang City to equip my Purple Tier helmet!

“Shua!”

Using a city return scroll, I appear in Ba Huang City and immediately rush to the warehouse manager . From my 1000 slot warehouse, I withdraw the Purple Tier Fire Beacon Helmet . I immediately equip it onto my headgear slot . The red helmet makes me look quite formidable and it matches my Ice Fire Cloak; the combination seems to exude a killing intent . Moreover, the Fire Beacon Helmet is a high level helmet that can shroud my face because of the light emanating from it . If people do not look at my ID, they would not notice me . Destiny even has a rule that if a player, excluding a friend, is 10 levels above another, his ID will not be revealed . Looking at the Fire Beacon Helmet’s attributes again, I can’t help but fawn over it . This Purple Tier equipment is really handsome on me!

【Fire Beacon Helmet】(Purple Tier）

Type：Armor

Defense：180

Strength：+35

Endurance：+32

Magic resistance: Reduce magic damage taken by 2%

Extra: Increases attack by 4%

Level Requirement: 45

… .

Of course, Fire Beacon Helmet not only changes my appearance but also strengthens my stats

【Xiao Yao Zi Zai】 (Tomb Guardian of Dragon City)

Level: 45

Attack: 796 – 1071

Defense: 1022

Health: 1833

Mana: 696

Charm: 31

……

My health has reached 1800+ . The number of Swordsmen and Berserkers that have reached this amount of health is really small . After all, my equipment surpasses the norm . My health capacity is equivalent to what you probably would see on a Knight or a Monk . In addition, my attack’s upper bound is 1071, but that is without the damage amplification from my equipment . I gain 3% extra attack damage from Jade City Sword, 4% from Fire Beacon Helmet, 3 % from Ba Huang City’s BUFF, 0 . 7% from Dragon Tomb’s Shin Guard, 0 . 7% from Silver Locked Battle Boots and finally 10% from my Turmoil Sword skill . In total, I gain an extra 21 . 4% attack damage . My upper bound of 1071 attack damage becomes an amazing 1300 with the damage increase factored in!

Even with this, I am still uneasy . The forums say that when Jian Feng Han equipped his Purple Tier Heavenly Plan Sword, the upper bound of his attack reached 1400+ . This is a frightening amount of damage . With just the Heavenly Plan Sword, Jian Feng Han is doing about 300 more damage than me . At this very moment, Jian Feng Han is a killing machine . Therefore, it would be best for me to avoid [Vanguard] for a while…

If Jian Feng Han keeps looking for me, then I’d have to say, when two enemies meet, the more courageous one wins . Even if my equipment isn’t as good as his, my will won’t be weaker than him!

… . .

Opening my friends list, I see that Song Han, Old K and Fox have all reached level 10 . Their speed at leveling is pretty fast . I send a message to Song Han: “How long until you guys reach Ba Huang City?”

“10 minutes . Old K, Fox and I are going there together . ”

“Great!”

I walk over to the North doorway of Ba Huang City and wait . Within 10 minutes, 3 level 10 players with ragged clothing appear .

Wolf Totem Lv 10 Trainee Assassin

Hero Ran Min Lv 10 Trainee Berserker

Glass Fox Lv 10 Trainee Gunman

……

“Woosh… . “

As cold wind blows from outside the city, my Ice Fire Cloak begins to wave behind me . I look handsome . The Jade City Sword has a golden aura around it and my Dawn Breastplate shines holy rays of light . The Fire Beacon Helmet shrouds my forehead and emanates killing intent . My level 10 friends look at my name and only see a line of “???” . They did not even recognize me and continue to walk into the city .

“Ha Ha, Brother Xiao Yao will be at the North gate of the plaza . Tonight, we will reach level 20 . Fuck, let’s throw caution to the wind!” Song Han laughs while holding his steel dagger .

Old K holds his rusted battle axe and laughs: “Ha Ha . Today, I am in a good mood . We get to work hard playing in a new game!”

Fox narrows his eyes: “Let us catch up to the average level first before talking . ”

Song Han says: “Within 7 days, we must catch up . Even if we don’t sleep or eat, we must overtake them in levels!”

Fox nods: “ OK . That is right . The average amount of time that players spend online is about 12 hours . We will throw caution to the wind and every day we will stay on for 18 hours . Like this, I believe that we can catch up to them!

“Ok!”

Just then, I slip in and cross my arms in front of the three of them, blocking their path .

“Huh?”

Old K, surprised, immediately circles around . I immediately extend my arm and block his way .

“Damn, you want to die?! I’m not in a good mood today!” Old K roars while preparing to whirl his axe .

……

I brush off the light from the Fire Beacon Helmet and reveal my face . I snicker: “Old K, you idiot . Who do you think you’re trying to fight?”

“I’ll say . Li Xiao Yao, you brat…” Old K laughs and inspects me: “Damn, what level are you? Your equipment is so cool…”

Song Han hesitates: “Did you really need to say that? If you search Ba Huang City’s rankings, Xiao Yao’s ranked 7th . Lv 45!”

Fox looks at me and nods: “Ah, Xiao Yao, he’s so high leveled . We Zhan Long Studio have such a bright banner of him . This will help us tremendously . ”

Song Han holds his dagger: “Umm . Let’s first go to the skill instructor to learn the skills, then prepare to train, right?”

I put the three in my party and say: “You guys first go and find your job instructor to learn your basic skills . I’ll be in the plaza by the north gate waiting and prepare some things for you . “

“Alright!”

……

The three go straight to the job training area . I cruise over to the plaza near the North Gate . I need to give them good conditions for their leveling . First of all, they need a pet . A high quality pet is needed to assist in killing monsters . The Killer Bee should be the pet of choice . In Ba Huang City, there are more than a few stalls carrying them .

Going back and forth, finally, I select three level 1 Killer Bee’s with 70%+ excellency . Lv 10 players can carry them . Each of the bees are priced at 10 G, equivalent to 100 RMB . In one breath, I buy three and throw them into my storage . Then, looking everywhere for equipment, I eventually lock onto three pieces ——

【Piercing Bone Dagger】: Lv 20 Silver Dagger, Attack Power 75 – 145, Agility + 21, Endurance + 14, Cost 40 Gold

【Scorching Hot Gun】: Lv 19 Bronze Gun, Attack Power 37-95, Agility + 18, Cost 40 Gold

【Savage War Axe】: Lv 22 Silver Axe, Attack Power 90 – 180, Strength + 22, Endurance + 19, Cost 60 Gold

……

Dammit, for these three weapons, I spent my hard-earned saving . After I exchanged most of my gold in one go, I don’t have much leftover . Currently, in my bag, it looks like I have less than 100 gold . I still need money to buy HP pots and to repair equipment . The higher the equipment level, the higher the repair costs . Heavy armor is especially expensive to repair . I need to learn to live with this!

Then, after I bought some less than Lv 30 heavy and leather armors . Basically, I selectively picked those with high defense or add endurance . First, I need to guarantee they survive to ensure high leveling speed . After all, if I can’t keep them alive, then there’s no use in talking about leveling .

Not long after, all three return . Each with an expectant look . What’s so exciting about learning the basic skills…

Opening the trading window, I give each of them a Killer Bee and then say: “This is the deadliest pet in the early game . For now, just bring them with you and they’ll level at the same pace as you . Besides that, here are also some equipment you should put in storage . When you level up, you can equip them . After probably within a day of fighting, you’ll be able to equip them…”

As I hand over the equipment to them, all three of their faces light up . Song Han fiddles with the [Piercing Bone Dagger], smiling: “Woah . 145 attack power . It’s completely better than my 1-2 damage dagger that I have right now .

“Hurry and store it . I’ll also give you all 10 gold each . We’re preparing to leave the city . Tonight, our goal is to reach Lv 20 . Maybe, Little Wolf, tonight you’ll be able to equip the Bone Piercing Dagger . With that attack damage, you won’t need me to carry you and you can level on your own!”

“Yes!”

……

Fox mutters to himself: “I thought of a problem…”

“What?” I ask .

“Our group has warriors, an assassin, and a musketeer . All we’re missing now is a healer . If the HP pots we bought don’t hold up, we might have no way of fighting…”

I couldn’t help but smile, as I lift my hand, my [Heal] falls over Fox’s head: “What is this?”

Fox shocked, says: “Damn… . this brat’s playing nanny to the whole guild…”

Song Han chuckles: “Okay . Let’s depart . I can’t wait anymore!”

“Yup!”

As I lead the three rookies out Ba Huang City’s main gate, I consider for a while, what level monster should they use to level . They’re all Lv 10 . I can’t do most of the damage and I also won’t be able to party with them . Since my level is too high, I’d snatch more than 99% of the experience in the party and they’ll practically get none . That method’s slower than them killing monster on their own .

After thinking for a while, the only way was for them to start attacking a monster and after each of them took out 5% of the monster’s HP, I can come in and provide the killing blow . Because, under Destiny’s parameters, in order to obtain experience from a monster, the attacks need to damage at least 5% of the total HP of monster . That way, the entire team can obtain the full 100% of the experience without me taking too much .

After contemplating the plan, I set the target as the Lv 22 Ashen Bears in Ba Huang forest . They surpass them by 11 levels, so they might be able to damage it . After all, I already gave them all Lv 10 Green Tier equipment . This shouldn’t be a problem!

TL: Apparently Xiao Yao did that – Not a translation error .

……

The low leveled monster regions are flooded with players . After the second batch of 500W helmets were sold, another frenzied wave of leveling had begun . As I took the three rookies deeper into a high level monster area, there were fewer and fewer players around . This is what I want .

“Rawr…”

In the distance, an Ashen Bear raises his head and roars . Song Han mutters to himself: “Crap . A Lv 22 monster? This isn’t a joke, right?”

I smile: “No . I’ll agro it first, and you three form a party . That way I won’t take your experience . But remember, in a while, I’ll let the monster hit me . Then, I’ll heal . When I’ve pulled all the agro onto me, that’s when you strike . Understand?”

“Yup . ” The three nod .
