Chapter 8: Turtles Have Dads Too

  Of course, no matter what others think, these things have nothing to do with Xiao Yi for the time being. What he needs to do now is to crazily purchase daily necessities in the supermarket, buying a lot of instant noodles and sausages. For the next two months, Xiao Yi has made up his mind to stay at home and work hard to upgrade!

  As for what was said earlier about going with Mo Qiaoqiao to take a look at the school, Xiao Yi had long forgotten, or rather, when the time came, Mo Qiaoqiao would just call and they would go.

  Otaku have their own lives, have you ever heard of an otaku giving up games for love? If they really did that, then they wouldn't be otaku anymore!

  A qualified boyfriend is not one who says he loves you a lot, but the best boyfriend is when playing DOAT, LOL, WOW, DNF, as long as you make a phone call, send a text message or even a QQ message, he will immediately throw away his game and go find you.

  But in Xiao Yi's view, such a man would be better off being called a pig-like teammate rather than a good man!

  So, in the eyes of an otaku, games are a necessity, while romance and girlfriends are optional. At least when there's no girlfriend, we still have the beautiful sisters quietly lying in the G disk, but if there were no games, then there would be nothing to replace them!

  "Dear Wanwan! I've missed you so much, come here and let me give you a big hug. Oh my, you've grown up again in just one day!"

  "Five thunders rumble overhead!"

  The same opening, this once again made Xiao Yi feel that his girlfriend was simply too weak, didn't he have women in the game who would hug him too?

  Although hugging and touching would put him at risk of being struck by lightning, Xiao Yu still couldn't get enough. From start to finish, he felt that he was taking advantage of someone else's kindness and getting punished a bit wasn't a big deal. If this were in the real world, anyone who dared do such a thing would definitely be dragged away by the police, and their file would be filled with bold and colorful marks.

  It's already a big win just being struck by lightning, no matter how you look at it! Not to mention that next time they'll let you touch again, where can you find such good things?

  "Alright, warm-up is over, what shall we do today? I'm full of energy, are we going to continue slaughtering small animals?" Xiao Yi swung his broken iron sword with a spirited and heroic air.

  After successfully cutting down the three-skilled Big Rooster under his horse, Xiao Yu's confidence soared again. Now in his eyes, monsters were indeed a bit powerful and intimidating, but they weren't invincible!

  Wan Wan's face was cold and unpleasant as she said, "Take a look, this is the task I've arranged for today. Generally speaking, there's no need to run errands, they all require you to kill monsters with your own hands. How about it? Yesterday you said you didn't like helping people with errands, so today I chose tasks that fit what you like. Am I being considerate enough? I even designed a route for killing monsters for you!"

  Xiao Yi was certain that this must be Wan Wan's doing, deliberately choosing all the combat tasks for him to complete as revenge. To be honest, running errands was tiring, but compared to fighting monsters, it was much easier. If he could become a fairy just by running errands, Xiao Yi would definitely choose this way!

  Just as Xiao Yi was browsing through the task, Wanwan spoke up again: "Before you start the task, I need to tell you some things. First of all, every skill you learn is divided into four levels. To put it simply, they are ordinary, advanced, expert, and master! As your skill level increases, the power of the skill will also increase, and special additional effects will appear."

  Xiao Yi knew this point, when he was learning skills at that time, he found that there was a blank energy bar under each skill icon, which should be the experience bar needed for skill upgrades!

  "So how can I improve my skill level?" Xiao Yi asked without hesitation, no need to be overly proud in this matter, after all, the one who would end up suffering losses would still be himself.

  "Skill enhancement can be achieved through three paths. Firstly, if you are a disciple of the Dà Mén Pài sect, you can listen to the guidance of high-ranking masters within the sect, which will greatly enhance your skills and is arguably the most relaxed and easiest way."

  Xiao Yi acknowledged that Wan Wan was right, this was indeed the most relaxed and easiest way to improve his skills. However, the key issue was that this method required Xiao Yi to have a sect. Unfortunately, what Xiao Yi lacked now was exactly that - a sect. He couldn't just let him steal from another sect, could he?

  Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with resentment as he asked, "Then tell me about the second method. I'm now regretting not choosing the sect back then!"

  At the sight of Xiao Yi's expression, Wan Wan couldn't help but comfort him: "Actually, the first method also has its drawbacks. Once your skills have reached a high level, unless you receive personal instruction from a master-level person, it is impossible to advance to expert level! And wanting to reach master level through this method is not feasible. Next, let's talk about the second method, epiphany!"

  The so-called epiphany is something that even Yuwen herself can't explain, but in general, it means that as long as you've cultivated this skill, one day you might suddenly have a breakthrough, and your skill level will skyrocket like a rocket. It's not impossible to reach the Master level directly through epiphany.

  Of course, the disadvantages of this method are also obvious, that is, it has uncontrollability. This opportunity is accidental and may not be encountered in a lifetime!

  Xiao Yi finally understood, after making a big fuss about the first two methods, it was as if he hadn't said anything at all!

  "Let's talk about the third one, is there a more practical method?"

  "Of course, that is by continuously killing monsters to accumulate experience points. Every time you kill a monster, your skill level will increase a bit. Note that the skill used to kill the monster last will have its experience value increased! As for status-type skills, they require you to perform normal attacks to increase their experience value. If there are two or more statuses on your body, the system will randomly distribute the experience among one of the status skills. If there is only one, then the experience from killing monsters through normal attacks will go to that skill!"

  Xiao Yi understood, that is to say, if he wanted to upgrade his sword energy and Vajra symbol, he could only do so by killing monsters through normal attacks. And if he wanted to simply improve one skill, he could only use one state. Of course, if he didn't mind the trouble, he could also use two states together, as for which state increased faster, it was all up to luck.

  "I get it, no wonder you helped me choose so many combat missions. It seems that in order to improve my skills, I really need to engage in a lot of battles! Alright, let's start, transport me to the next battle location!"

  "Teleport? You've got to be kidding me! Teleportation was only for quick battles, it's a system setting! I don't have that kind of skill myself, if you want to go then just walk there honestly!" After saying that, Yuwen gave a white eye and directly disappeared.

  Xiao Yi set off towards the task location while flipping through his task list. Although Xian Xian had already helped him accept all the kill monster tasks, there were still some other tasks that Xiao Yi decided to take on as well. Many material-gathering tasks could be done conveniently during the process of killing monsters, so why not?

  Xiao Yi's first destination was the riverbank, because last year many turtles laid eggs on the riverbank, and now it's hatching season, many little turtles have appeared and seriously disrupted the ecological environment of the riverbank, so the village chief entrusted Xiao Yi to come and clean up the little turtles!

  "Turtles, and small ones at that, shouldn't be too far off the mark, right?" The first battle with the Great Rooster had left a shadow in Xiao Yu's heart, he was truly afraid that when he arrived at his destination, the so-called "small turtle" would be as big as a house!

  After arriving at the place, Xiao Yisu let out a sigh of relief. According to the pit father law, a person should not encounter two pit father things in a short period of time, unless his character is extremely poor.

  Turtles are just ordinary sea turtles, slightly larger in size, which is not unbearable! As for why the turtle would be by the river, that's not something Xiao Yi considered.

  Without saying another word, Xiao Yi grabbed the sword in his hand and rushed to the riverbank, staring at the small lives that were about to be buried under his hands!

  "Damn it! I know the turtle shell is hard, but what I'm holding in my hand is a sword, isn't it?! Even if it's a broken and worn-out sword, it's still a sword! Its main component is iron, no matter how bad it is, it should be harder than calcium, right? How can I not even cut through it?" Xiao Yi looked at his reddened hands and asked frantically.

  Wan Wan suddenly floated out and said: "By the way, in this game, there is a weakness system. Of course, where there are weaknesses, there are also the strongest defenses. If you hit the weak point, it will cause double damage, which we call a critical hit. If you hit a special weak point, it may even be an instant kill! On the other hand, if you hit the opponent's strongest defensive point, your attack power will be weakened! Friendly reminder, the turtle's weakness is on its neck, you must take action before it withdraws its head!"

  "Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xiao Yi once again raised the broken sword in his hand and charged towards the turtle.

  After several rounds of fighting, Xiao Yi gradually found the key. The weakness of the turtle was not only on its neck, but also on the chrysanthemum. Suddenly, Xiao Yi's knife fell and killed with great pleasure. Compared to their turtle-like defense, their attack power was really too low!

  It wasn't long before Xiao Yi had killed enough turtles and his level had also risen by one. He was overjoyed to start dissecting the turtle's corpse, collecting the useful parts inside to take back and exchange for money. The whole body of the turtle was a treasure, and at this time, Xiao Yi couldn't care about how bloody the scene was!

  Just as Xiao Yi was basking in the joy of making a fortune, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind him.

  Then all I heard was a soft and gentle voice saying: "Dad, it's him who bullied us!"
