Slaying the Dragon
The next morning, woke up early, quickly got dressed and washed up, and rushed out of the door.
Bought three breakfasts, stood under the girls' dormitory and called Lin Wan'er, a few minutes later, the beautiful lady came down, wearing a sky blue short skirt, with a shirt on top, her full and proud chest almost bursting the buttons, she seemed to have thought of this too, so she added a T-shirt inside the shirt.
I stood in front of the door and took a look at her. I couldn't help but take another glance, this girl is really too beautiful, unfortunately she's my enemy...
Lin Wan'er glared at me: "Have you seen enough? I've got breakfast, hurry up and go level up, after all... after all, you're my person, if your level is too low in the future, I'll feel embarrassed..."
"I took a deep breath: 'Yeah, won't let the organization down...'"
"Wait..."
Lin Wan'er suddenly stopped me, paused for a long time, and then said: "Li Xiao Yao, I want to ask you... were you really serving in the special forces before?"
I was stunned: "What's wrong, suddenly remembered this thing?"
"I'm just asking, I don't believe Wang Xin's words. An elite special forces soldier who has killed people before, how could he be like you, a shameless guy who only knows how to freeload and scam..."
She looked at my expression, speaking while seeing me somewhat embarrassed, she smiled even sweeter, indeed, Lin Wan'er still resented me for looking at her chest, this is to establish her own happiness on the basis of my pain!
I stood there awkwardly, clenching my fists and said: "Whether you believe Captain Wang's words or not, I just need to guarantee your safety, that's all. Miss, I'm leaving..."
Lin Wan'er looked at me: "Oh, got angry? Won't be so petty, will you?"
I turned around, flashing a bright sunny smile: "Big sister, you're really nosy!"
"Hmph, I won't say anything else! I'm going back to level up!"
Lin Wan'er stamped her foot, and that pair of 34D peaks swayed gently, with a very elastic appearance. I was so dazzled that I quickly said: "Young lady, slow down, I won't see you off!"
As I watched Lin Wan'er's beautiful figure disappear from view, I clapped my hands and headed back to the dormitory while munching on a bun. Hmm, another new day has begun, today's goal is to leave Newbie Village and head to Bahang City, join the mainstream of players, can't always be messing around in Newbie Village, that's really too unimpressive!
……
Back to dormitory, go online!
Loading data... Done! Enter game!
"Brush!"
A glimmer of light, and it's still the Wild Bear Forest. Looking around, observing repeatedly, good, those thieves from Western Chu finally left, probably they also think I'm a low-level player, staying here to waste time isn't a solution for them either, after all, they also need to level up and go to the main city, whatever grudges we have, we can settle them together in the main city.
Stand beside the corpse and revive!
After a flash of golden light, I stood quietly in the desolate forest, opened my package, and found that although several bottles of potion had been blown out when I fell, all the important things were still there. I took out the treasured sword - Thorn Sword, now it's up to you!
Equipment, in his hand appeared a long sword with a faint glow.
Thorny Sword (Black Iron Sword)
Attack: 21-35
Power: +3
Required level: 8
……
21-35 points of attack power, directly killing my original 1-level 1-3 attack power iron sword in an instant. Holding the thorny sword in hand, I can clearly feel that slightly thick power, and at the same time, the entire person's attributes also surged up a bit.
Carefree and at ease (apprentice of the Hanging Gourd Doctor)
Rank: 9
Attack: 69-83
Defense: 23
Life: 180
Magic: 150
Charm value: 0
……
The attack power of 69-83 is too fierce, a full-pointed swordsman of the same level probably has this attribute, huh, after getting the thorny sword, my leveling effect must be extraordinary!
Carrying the thorny sword, continue to move forward. Currently at level 9 with 57% experience value, killing a few more monsters will allow me to reach level 10. After going back to resupply, I can head to the main city of Bahang City to report!
On the mountain slope, a 9th-level Thorn Bear let out a low growl. I smiled slightly and said, "I'll use you to test my sword. Let's see how my 83 attack power really is!"
"Brush!"
The whole person rushed out in a straight line, the sharp sword chopped down simply and neatly, directly hitting the brain of the thorny bear, with a crisp sound, a damage number flew up, and indeed did not disappoint.
“117！”
It's so cool! An attack like this is really worth watching!
Before the thorny bear could counterattack, my second sword had already fallen!
“114！”
The thorny bear was immediately enraged, raised its sharp claws and slapped them over. At the same time my body shook off 37 blood, the third sword fell, and the thorny bear fell to the ground. Tsk tsk, this leveling efficiency is really not covered!
Picked up 4 copper coins, continued forward, killed a dozen or so thorny bears, and then "brushed" down a beam of light, leveled up to level 10, and gained an additional 10 attribute points, all added to strength, attack power increased by 5-5. Returned to the village to resupply before heading to Bayuan City!
……
Back to the newbie village, sold a few pieces of trashy white equipment such as leather armor and plate armor, now I have 2 silver coins in my bag, which makes me a wealthy man. After repairing my equipment, I started replenishing my supplies. I can recover health on my own without needing red potions, just buying some blue potions will do.
Arriving at the pharmacy, opening the list, my heart shattered instantly ——
【Magic Potion LV-1】: Restores 50 magic points, sells for 5 copper coins each.
【Magic Potion LV-2】: Restores 100 magic points, sells for 50 copper coins each.
【Magic Potion LV-3】: Restores 150 magic points, sells for 5 silver coins each.
……
Damn it, can't even afford a 3rd-tier blue potion with my money?! Forget it, I'll just buy several 1st-tier potions, should be enough to last me till the Eight Desolations City.
As I arrived at the village entrance, an old man with a staff and the words "Village Chief" floating above his head greeted me. Without needing to think, I knew he was here to see me off. As we spoke, the old man's trembling hands, like old tree bark, patted my forehead, and his eyes were filled with murky tears: "Child, you've grown up, and it's finally time for you to leave the village. I'm truly happy for you! Remember, you are our pride, and in the future, you must become an excellent adventurer, serving the Tianying Empire and driving away those invading enemies!"
I nodded: "I know, Village Chief."
"Child, I have three letters of introduction here, you can choose one..."
Three options appeared on the interface, namely Fangshu City, Bahuang City and Jiuli City. Choosing one of them would allow you to go to the corresponding main city to find a career mentor and report for duty. At the same time, you could finally learn skills other than innate abilities!
I chose the Eight Desolations City without hesitation. The old man waved his hand in farewell: "Go, my child, no matter where you go in the future, whether you are an ordinary warrior or a commander of thousands of troops, don't forget today, you are the child who walked out of our small village, and will always be our pride..."
"Nonsense is really much..." I muttered a sentence, took the introduction letter of Bayuan City, went out and reported to the vocational instructor!
……
The city of Bahar is located in the northernmost part of the seven human empires, and it is also the closest to the unknown land in the north. It's more like a vanguard fortress for the human alliance stationed in the north. This is also one of the reasons I chose Bahar City - such a city has challenges, and more importantly, the monsters around Bahar City must be the most ferocious among the three main cities. Players who have been trained in that environment will become even more exceptional.
I marked the map of Ba Huang City and rushed forward with my sword. Along the way, there were also many players heading to Ba Huang City, almost all of whom were level 10 players. Everyone was in a hurry, afraid that if they went late, they wouldn't be able to get any monsters. In fact, based on my judgment, the number and level of monsters around the main city far exceeded those in the newbie village. This is because Tianming's design can accommodate over 100 million players online at the same time, but now there are only 1 million people in the public test, so the map's capacity far exceeds the current number of players. They don't need to be in a hurry at all, and rushing over would be looking for death!
Not far away, a warrior in white heavy armor was accompanied by a female doctor with a gourd, who wore a suit of cloth armor and held a staff. The tip of the staff had a medicine bottle shape floating on it, this is what a real doctor with a gourd looks like, much stronger than me, a half-baked doctor with a gourd.
In addition, there are also players with transparent wings flying in the air, including archers, spiritual masters and suspension doctors. The wind spirit is a profession that can fly and is very popular. It is said that more than 35% of the public beta players chose the wind spirit. I did not choose the wind spirit because the target in the air is too easy to be damaged, and the physical strength and defense growth of the wind spirit are poor, while the magic and long-range growth are high, which is not my favorite type.
……
Along the way, most players travel in groups and there's little danger as many monsters have already been cleared. After 70 minutes of rapid progress, a majestic city appears on the border, with a giant stone-carved knife rising into the sky at its entrance - the symbol of Bahuang City, also known as the legendary Bahuang Knife, possibly a divine artifact...
Enter the city, go through the direction, find the vocational training school.
A group of wind spirits, all carrying staffs, stood by a pool of emerald water. Among them was a 50-level NPC wind spirit standing at the center, who was the profession mentor.
I stepped forward, pulled out the letter of introduction and said politely: "Teacher, this is my letter of introduction. I am an adventurer from Grass Dog Village, requesting to obtain your training permit!"
The mentor looked at the thorny sword in my hand, revealing a hint of astonishment, and then said: "Alright, young man, from now on, you are an apprentice hanging pot doctor of the Eight Desolations City, for the glory of the Empire!"
……
After finishing speaking, there was no next step. Even I continued the conversation, an option box appeared, one of which was learning skills. After opening it, only one skill could be learned -
Poem of Inspiration: Activates a drum roll that increases the target's attack power by 1%, requires player level 10, requires the Bard profession, and costs 1 silver coin to learn.
A very good auxiliary skill, level 1 increases attack power by 1%, and at level 10 it's 10%. At the same time, my sword's waves are really sharp, increasing attack power by 10%! This kind of skill is absolutely rare!
One silver coin is gone, damn it, I'm really heartbroken!
……
Farewell to the mentor, next is still going out to practice, however, I'm not in a hurry to go out, there's one more thing that must be done!
Production occupation, alchemist, refining the Dan medicine of returning blue!
