Chapter 15: Obtaining a New Skill,『Rain of Life』
Noticing that Su Ming was about to leave, the old Mayor hastily reminded, “Adventurer, you’d best reach Lv10 first before assisting the soldiers in eliminating the demons.”
“I know.”
Su Ming nodded. As if he had remembered something, he turned his head and asked, “Mayor, I want to know one thing. Since demons appeared near Aaron Town, why didn’t the Church send the Knights and Priests to exterminate the demons?”
This was something that Su Ming had wondered about even in his previous life.
Demons were creatures of darkness, so wouldn’t they be an enemy of the Church of Light?
Yet, the Church of Light was indifferent to the situation.
The Mayor shook his head and explained, “They have a more difficult task. The weakening of the seal on the Abyssal Gate of the Dark Ridge has led to the birth of a large tide of demons. Those vile creatures had escaped from the mountains, so the Church needed to suppress the Dark Ridge which leads to them not having extra manpower.”]
So it’s the Dark Ridge.
Su Ming suddenly realized.
After resolving the doubts in his mind, he left the Mayor’s house.
Subsequently, Su Ming went to the market and purchased a『Arrow of Light(Black Iron)』skill book, costing him 700 gold which was equivalent to real currency of 700 kuai*.
[TLN: *kuai is a classifier for money and currency units.]
His current magic attack was much higher than his physical attack, reaching 269 points, thus Su Ming finally needed to learn an attack skill.
[Arrow of Light] was one of the few attack skills that Priests had in their early stages.
“Ding! Congratulations on learning the skill『Arrow of Light Lv1』.”
『Arrow of Light (Black Iron)』
Level: 1 (0/200)
Effect: Uses the holy light to condense into an arrow. Deals [20+magic attack *150%] light damage to a single enemy. Dark creatures take double damage.
Cooldown: 5 seconds
Consumption: 25 MP
Having learned the skill, Su Ming immediately set off for the quest.
He had to seize every moment to grow stronger.
……
Seven or Eight Minutes Later…
【Current Location: Holy Light Kingdom—Aaron Town—Azure Lake】
The location he arrived at was a Level 5 Map and there were already many players teaming up to kill monsters nearby.
【Water Demon】
Level: 5
Rank: Ordinary
HP: 950
Attack: 105
Defense: 45
Magic Defense: 27
Skill: Water Arrow Lv1, Illusionary Voice Lv1
Water demons were dark bluish humanoid demons that were short, and were not as beautiful as the legendary Sirens. Their whole face looked like it had been through a terrible traffic accident—the epitome of ugliness.
“I’m going to test my damage on you guys then.”
Su Ming fished out his spirit staff and quickly activated his skill:【Arrow of Light】!
The glimmering particles instantly agglomerated into one arrow and assailed through the air.
Whoosh!
The Arrow of Light!
-369
“Ugh——”
One unfortunate water demon was pierced by the light arrow in its abdomen and shirked a bloody scream as its HP bar plummeted by a huge section.
“Damage not quite bad, aye!”
Su Ming was satisfied yet again.
Following after, he went on a killing spree.
If one had a skill, one’d put it to use. If one didn’t have a skill, one could always swing one’s staff and smash-spank the demons while the damage would always be extremely high.
Another water demon died in Su Ming’s hand.
“Ding!”
“You’ve killed 1 water demon. EXP gained: 50.”
“You’ve killed…”
The system panel constantly refreshed its prompts, and within two minutes, his EXP bar had reached the level-up requirement.
Su Ming’s body flashed with a light and his HP and MP instantly restored to full.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on reaching Level 5. You’ve gained: Strength +2, Physique +2, Agility +2, Wisdom +3.”
Su Ming opened his personal status panel.
ID: Cang Hai
Level: 5 (10/1750)
HP: 2380
MP: 3366
Attributes:
Strength: 118
Physique: 119
Agility: 124
Wisdom: 134
Attack speed: 236/275
Physical Defense: 155
Magic Defense: 95
In addition to the changes in his attributes, the buff icons in his status also grew to 10, accumulating to 432 layers.
His heart felt comfortable just by looking at his stats.
“Let’s keep on killing those demons.”
Su Ming looked to the other hordes of water demons and walked towards them.
“Ding, you have a message from your friend.”
Just halfway across, the system prompt rang out.
“Who would contact me at this hour? Could it be that Night Blade Flame has found the healing skill scroll?!”
Su Ming felt slightly elated.
He opened the message panel to indeed find a message from Night Blade Flame.
“Brother Cang Hai, my guild has just found a Silver-grade healing scroll, will you look at it? [Screenshot].” A message from『Ye Ren Yan』.
“Open the screenshot.”
【Rain of Life(Silver)】
Effect:
-Summons a rain full of vitality to heal friendly units within a radius of 20 meters.
-Restoration effect: 3500 HP per second.
-Last for 15 seconds.
Su Ming’s eyes lit up.
As long as he used the scroll, he would be able to obtain 15 layers of Silver-grade buffs.
Therefore, he sent a reply: “The scroll is pretty good but it isn’t valuable enough.”
“In addition to this Silver skill book, I’ll add another 30,000 gold!” Night Blade Yan replied immediately.
According to the market price in his previous life, the price of Silver-grade equipment fluctuated between 5,000-15,000 gold.
The price offered by Ye Ren Yan was a full double premium.
To think that one day, he could exchange a Lv5 Silver-grade equipment for 30,000 gold and 15 layers of Silver-grade buffs.
Su Ming felt it was worth the shot.
Moreover, the added attributes of Lv5 Silver equipment were not as good as a few layers of buffs, and selling it to Night Blade Flame wouldn’t pose any threat to himself.
Su Ming agreed to the deal and sent his coordinates over.
“You’re also at Azure Lake, great! Brother, wait where you are and I’ll be right over.”
Night Blade Flame couldn’t wait to change into his Silver armor.
“『Night Blade Flame』is also at Azure Lake?”
Seeing the other party’s words, Su Ming was first confused before remembering something.
There seemed to be a Lv5 team Dungeon on this side of the lake.
However, he hadn’t fought in this Dungeon in his previous life because his strength was too inferior at the time.
