Virtual World: Conquering the World

After filling up on potions, I walked out of Sunset City side by side with Ling Yue.  We walked towards the east and travelled a far distance.

Finally, to the east of Sunset City, we found a patch of highland.  This was where the Armies of Light defeated the Armies of Darkness.  Countless ancient tombstones of heroes were placed on the hill for future generations to pay tribute to.  Of course, since I picked to be a human, I was one of the brave warriors from the Light Clans!

Seeing the endless tombstones on the hillside, Ling Yue revealed a faint smile and said, "This place is called the Hero Memorial Park and is a very good place to level!"

I looked from afar and noticed that in between the tombstones, there were countless skeletons slowly walking around.  These skeletons were covered in green mold and they had broken iron swords in their hands.  They look very fierce, but moved very slowly!

[Hell Skeleton] (Normal Monster)

Level: 35

Attack: 240-295

Defense: 160

HP: 4000

Defense Type: Heavy Armour.  They will receive extra damage from magic attacks.

Ling Yue did not say anything else and raised her hand to shoot out a fireball.  It slammed into a Hell Skeleton who lost 1342 points of HP.  It had to be said, with the Roaring Flame Staff, Ling Yue's fire attributed magic damage was quite perverted!

"Bookworm, look!"  Ling Yue giggled.

"Look at what?"  I looked over.

Ling Yue lowered the Roaring Flame Staff in her hand and said with a smile, "Look at how long it'll take the Hell Skeleton to come over here!"

I was a little surprised, but I immediately understood Ling Yue's meaning.  I saw the skeleton slowly limp over with the heavy sword in his hand.  He walked step by step with a move speed that was much lower than normal people's.

It took close to ten seconds before the Hell Skeleton arrived in front of us.  Ling Yue set out another fireball to empty its HP and I shot out another armour piercing arrow to destroy it.  It dropped several silver coins on the ground!

Moreover, the skeleton gave quite a bit of experience.  I hesitated a little before turning around to ask, "Ling Yue, were you leveling here before?"

Ling Yun smiled and nodded, "Un, this place is quite good.  The monsters all have heavy armour, so it is very quick to kill them with magic attacks!  Especially after you gave me the Scarlet Flame Sea skill.  It's much easier to kill them with an AoE skill!"

I smiled, "Un, it's good that I've helped you.  I thought that skill book was just a piece of trash!"

Ling Yue pursed her lip into a smile, "Alright, let's split up and level!"

She pointed left and said, "You go to that mountain and I'll go right.  We'll kill the monsters with our AoE attack skills!"

I nodded and ran off.  The two mountains were not far from each other, but there were tombstones that were all covered in spirit flames.  Adding in the skeletons walking around, it looked very gloomy.  It should be because Ling Yue was a little afraid and that's why she didn't want me to go that far away!

Looking back, I saw Ling Yue's beautiful figure running through the Hell Skeletons.  She quickly pulled in a few and then cast the Scarlet Flame Sea.  In that blazing flame, the Hell Skeleton's HP quickly dropped and in the blink of an eye, it was completely emptied!

Because we were still in visible range, I still received a portion of experience, but it was much less now.  (The experience rule of Spirit of Grief depended on each party member's damage and the distribution setting placed when forming the part.

So, I went off to the left tombs and began to systematically pull in the Hell Skeletons.  They moved very slowly and I quickly pulled in a whole group, at which point I began to use the Thousand Bladed Arrows!

"Pa~!"

A rainbow coloured light was released and thousands of arrows began to fall above the Hell Skeletons.  I saw a damage figure appear and saw that it only dealt 200-300 points of damage!

I couldn't help letting a sign since my attack power would only allow me to deal this much damage.  It seemed like this really was a mage leveling area and normal physical damage jobs would have a hard time breaking through the Hell Skeleton's defenses!  But although the single target damage was little, the Thousand Bladed Arrows had attacked 30 monsters at once.  With 200 damage per monster, 30 monsters equaled 6000 points of damage!

This also meant that a single Thousand Bladed Arrows from me dealt over 6000 points of damage to these monsters.  This was something very broken!

Moreover, compared to Ling Yue, I still had an advantage.  Archers, Assassins, and other agility based Jobs had a 50% increased attack speed compared to other Jobs, which also meant that my skill using speed was much faster compared to Ling Yue.  So in comparison, when Ling Yue killed a group of monsters, I also killed a group of monsters.  This way, the experience just came flying in!

With high attack power, using an AoE skill to kill monsters was a very satisfying thing to do.  After three hours passed, a whole stack of blue potions had been finished.  In the middle, I had even delivered some blue potions over to Ling Yue once.  Mages were very weak, so they could not carry that many things.  After all, if a beautiful miss like Ling Yue was forced to carry a stack of blue potions, it seemed quite nonsensical.

In three hours, I had reached level 34 and 98%.  I was just 2% short of reaching level 35, but it had to be said that it was much harder to level at higher levels.  The experience I gained at level 34 was perhaps enough for another player to go from level 25 to level 32!

As for equipment drops, these Hell Skeletons could be considered quite generous.  I had obtained four pieces of equipment in three hours, they were all Dark Iron Equipment around level 28.  I could sell them for a few gold coins each, so I could set up a stall in the Sunset City square later.

When I was preparing to return to the city, Ling Xue finally logged on!

I immediately sent a message over, "How did your tests go?"

Ling Xue said, "I logged on this late, so what do you think?  I feel like I'm dying….."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  She was definitely calm for someone who dying.

After a few seconds, Ling Xue asked, "Are you and elder sister leveling together?"

I replied, "Un, we found a good place to increase our skill levels.  I have just a bit before being able to level up my Thousand Bladed Arrows!  Also, we'll meet up an hour later at the east gate.  I've called Ling Yue and a cleric, so we'll level up together at the Ancient Ghost Tomb.  I'm aiming to reach level 36 today!"

Ling Xue sent a smiley face symbol, "Un!  Then I'll log off to eat first!"

"Alright!"

Ling Xue had only logged on for two minutes before logging off again.

At this moment, Ling Yue had picked up the gold coins and equipment the monsters dropped.  She walked beside me and said, "Bookworm, I'm logging off to eat.  I'll see you in an hour!"

I responded with a nod.  As I was preparing to return to the city, Ling Yue's small snow white hand grabbed my wrist.  She blinked and said, "I have six pieces of Dark Iron equipment and selling it would only result in a few silver coins.  What a pity.  Do you want them?  I don't have time to set up a stall~~"

I was a little surprised but I nodded with a smile on my face and said, "Alright, give them to me.  After I sell them, I'll give you the gold coins!"

Ling Yue couldn't help revealing a smile, "No need.  When have I ever been that stingy?"

I revealed a faint smile.  Ling Yue traded the six pieces of Dark Iron equipment over to me and then returned to the city.

I opened my inventory to look at it and found that I had 10 piece of Dark Iron equipment.  Moreover, I was lucky enough to collect five pieces of a set of equipment named the "White Forest Set".  It had a set effect of increasing the user's defense by 5%!

"He, he, this is a good low grade defense set of equipment!"

I couldn't help revealing a smile as I also returned to the city.  Arriving in the square, I shouted, "I'm selling a set of Dark Iron equipment for a low price!  Come buy it quickly!  This is not something that could be found in stores!"

Very quickly, a heavy armour player dressed like a beggar came over.  When he saw the stats of the item in my stall, he couldn't help praising it.

A swordsman asked, "This equipment set, how much does it cost together?"

I said, "Give a price?"

"50 gold coins!" The opposing side said in a sincere manner.

I shook my head, "100 gold coins, no bartering!"

The swordsman gritted his teeth and pondered for a bit before nodding and saying, "Alright, let's trade!"

So the five pieces of the Dark Iron equipment sent was sold for a high price of 100 gold coins by me!

Girls.  Although Ling Yue was the successor of the Blue Star Group, she knew much more about the business world compared to me.  But in terms of the game, she was quite inferior in this aspect compared to me.

Following this, the other five pieces of Dark Iron equipment were all sold for a low price, at 5 gold coins per piece.  In a sense, these gold coins were already enough to cover the expenses of our four man team's leveling tonight!

So, I logged off with a big smile on my face.  I heated up the dishes from this afternoon and then went to eat at the table.
