Chapter 25: If I Can Do It Once I Can Do It Again!

After the euphoria moment was over I realize something very stupid. I didn't borrow enough money to get back to confederate city.

“Ugh! LONG ZHANG WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID!” I roared into the sky. Honestly there was nothing I can do about it.

“Hey Dong you can go ahead and do what you need to do and we can meet up again after I enter the tomb. I don’t have enough to get back to confederate city,” I message him.

“Np. I’ll go level with some other people. The girls have to log off anyway. You want anything eat later? My mom is making Ginger and scallion lobster ^^” he messages back.

“Hell yeah bro!”

“I’ll message her that you are going to be staying over tonight.”

“Cool. Thanks.” Such a good friend I thought to myself.

I went back into the forest and killed a couple more monsters. I visited the Widow Queen spider’s cave to see if she revived yet and she hasn’t.

It took about an hour before I finally got 25 silver coins to use for the teleportation circle.

When I finally used it I was back at Confederate city. Then I realized something I am going to need mana potions and health potions. I quickly ran to the Alchemist association here and brought 100 veils for one silver coin. Basically 1 copper per veil. Then I began to use their furnace to refine the 63 ginger flowers I had left. Furthermore I also refined the 25 Vigor Flowers. It went something like this.

By the time I finished which was ten minutes after I had 29 mana potions and 16 health potions.

Surprisedly some people already reach level 6 in alchemy. My alchemy skill only went up to level two after all that.

So currently the Alchemy skill is capped at level 50 and the player’s level is capped at 75. In the game this is actually day number two but in real life only 17 to 18 hours since the release time has passed.

The highest level player is currently 20 at the moment. Their level time has really slowed down after reach level 15.

When I finally left the entrance I was back in the wild. I really wanted to purchase some equipments but I don’t have the money to do so. The life of a poor gamer I guess.

It has been quite some time that Dong has left but I began to wonder back into the forest as I head towards the Swamp Forest.

As I stroll through this dangerous forest I was killing nearby monsters as I walked along leaving a trail of monster carcass in my wake. These level 15 to 20 monsters barely gave me any experience. Furthermore their drops suck. On average it was 46 copper coins, and a couple of wood rank swords, shields, and other useless items I can’t use.

As I was strolling through this forest off the main road since my name is still red I heard a rustle. My eyes unconsciously shifts over to the sound of the rustle. Nothing was their at all. I brought out my sword and slowly walked over. Then there I saw something that startled me. About 30 meters away I saw a huge black bear looking creature battling it out with the Rising Dragon. If you don't remember who that is go back to and check chapter 17. Their group of seven somehow got larger. Now it is a group of twenty. It is a massive upgrade from before. Big Long Dragon was now level sixteen just like me believe it or not. Dunk King was the same level too. As for the other players they were either 14 or 15. So break it down out of the 20 people there are four level fourteens, twelve level fifteens and five level sixteens.

It was pretty intimidating force against a cute little bunny like me. Still even through I am cute and adorable it doesn’t mean I am not capable.

As I snuck closer I was now able to see the bear’s stats. It still had 80 percent of his health.

Black Bear King(Iron Boss Monster)

Level: 22

Health: 50,000

Attack:154-175

Defense:115

Agility: 32

Skill: (Absolute Strike!)

Description: As the King of his tribe the Black Bear King only inherent that title and power when it proves that he is stronger than all his underlings and rise above the others.

What the hell? Isn't this boss a little too over powered I might add? Those wolves that were level 23 didn't even have stats like these. Not only that but Bosses also get stat boosts so isn't his real stats around 200 in attack? Then again this is an Iron Tier boss. There might be an iron weapon that it might drop.

My brain began to work over time as I thought of strategies and ways that I might be able to take that boss. Still how lucky is this group to find two bosses in one day? Furthermore they picked Confederate City too. This might either be fate or karma. They always say karma is the B word but whose B word is it in this case? Anyway if I can do once I can do it again.

As my brain work over time I yelled out stats to look at my stats.

It didn't change at all and my stats are still reduced due to the sunlight. How great is that? Should I call Dong over? Then I remember about an Ancient Book I read about the Romance of the Three Kingdom. There was a strategy used by some famous Chinese guy in the book whose name I cannot remember but I remember the strategy.

The strategy was to have your enemies fight your enemies and then you can swoop in to take the kill.

I messaged Dong, “hey Dong need you to do me a favor. Can you announce to the world that at coordinates (124.5543)(-60.4356) that there is an Iron Tier boss call the Black Bear King?”

“Man why didn’t you message me earlier? Fuck! I’m an hour away from your location! But give me a second I’ll message it out.”

Ding!

System Announcement: Anonymous: I just came across an Iron Tier Boss in the Southern Forest. Coordinates (124.5543)(-60.4356) come just me in taking it down! The more the merrier!

“I mean it does have 50k health and there is still about 80% left. You can still make it,” I messaged him.

“Nah its all good. I’m in the middle of a quest right now. I don’t think I will have the chance of taking it anyway.”

Not even a minute went by when I saw a group running in. I quickly hid into the trees and watched the battle from afar.

Then another group came running in. Then another group, and another group.

I wish I have super hearing but I don’t so I can’t hear 50 meters away over these loud barbaric battle cries but if I were to guess it would go something along these lines.

“Fuck who was it that gave them this bosses location!”

“There shouldn't be many players in these locations. How did they even know? We made sure to aggro it away from the main road!”

“Whoever it is when I find out I will skin them alive.”

“I’ll rape all the girls in his family and let all the men in the family watch!”

Okay I should stop imagining stuff since it is getting way too dark. These are disturbing thoughts indeed.

I stayed hidden and waited and waited. This was because my stats were too weak and I would only have one chance with it. My one hit has to be able to kill it for me to steal the loot. Thankfully I learn three new skills, lightning vortex, lightning blade, and Lightning Regeneration.

Luckily the my Lightning blade increases my attack by double so I think I can do at the very least 20 damage and the most 30 damage. Basically it means I have to time it so well that it might as well be luck. If only there was a way to temporarily increase my attack.

As the health went down my excitement grew. My blood was boiling. I am such an… Asshole.
