Chapter 13: Spending Money Like Water

  Dark Knight of Online Games

  Outside the city gate, not far away is a small forest, where 11-level wild bears can be brushed out. This was kindly posted by a player who reached level 10 on the forum, and even marked the attributes of the wild bear. The attack power is not high, but the defense is very high, which is very suitable for players who have just reached level 10! I'm not too dare to explore randomly, after all, my level is the lowest among the monsters near Tianfeng City. What if I went to some map and they were all 30 or 40-level monsters, and one move would send me back to the city?

  But then I thought again, no way, if I were to discover that the monster in the small woods is suitable for this level of practice, I would absolutely not make it public, how good it would be to hide and practice alone! Since he made it public, it's clear that he wants everyone to go there to practice, while he himself has found a better place to practice, so as to widen the gap!

  No, I won't go to that small forest, I'll find a place to level up on my own!

  Suddenly found myself too awesome, I can even think of this!

  It's just that I don't know if the player who posted this was being kind-hearted, and he himself is leveling up inside!

  Headed north, I had forgotten that I have the skill of strong stealth. When encountering a gathering point of monsters, I can completely use stealth to get close and see the attributes of the monster before deciding whether or not to kill it. This is actually the safest way!

  After running for nearly 20 minutes, what appeared in front of me was a small valley. I estimate that players who have just changed their profession would not run to such a distant place to level up, and I should be the first person to arrive here!

  Suddenly, a huge flower bud appeared in front of me, and below it was a slender stem that grew very strangely. I took a closer look and found out that it was a level 15 monster, the man-eating plant, Carnivorous Flower!

  Carnivorous Plant (Common Monster)

  Level: 15

  Blood Gas: 800

  Attack: 57-69

  Defense: 29

  Skill: Devouring Strike

  ......

  Upon seeing this, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. NND, it's indeed worthy of being a 15-level monster! Its attack and defense are even stronger than the Slime King in the newbie village!

  But now I've changed careers, learned the skills of a swordsman, and equipped myself with level 10 gear. What's there to fear from your little man-eating flower?

  He rolled up his sleeves and took out his long sword!

  Currently, players don't have a charge skill, and running over would likely result in being attacked by monsters before even arriving, which is not a wise thing to do!

  It's said that wealth and honor are won at risk, but even if I fall back a level to Newbie Village, with my identity as an apprentice assassin, it's easy to practice from level 9 to level 10 again!

  I gritted my teeth, picked up my weapon and rolled up my sleeves. The first thing I did was to turn invisible, and soon my figure slowly faded away, and the shadow on the ground also disappeared. Well, from now on, whether it's a monster or a player, no one can see me! Suddenly, I thought to myself, if I had this skill in real life, I would definitely sneak into banks every day to grab money!

  No way, this is too common, it's better to hide in someone else's bathroom and watch a beauty take a bath!

  Slowly approaching the low-level man-eating flower, monsters above level 10 will attack on their own initiative, so I have to be extremely careful!

  I went around behind the monster, took a deep breath, and swung my iron sword down with all my might!

  "Strike hard!"

  “-169”

  Haha, indeed sharp!

  After the attack, I immediately appeared from stealth mode. The monster turned around and came to kill me, but I had already drunk a bottle of magic recovery potion, and another close combat skill was also activated!

  "Sweep away thousands of troops!"

  “-45”

  “-39”

  “-42”

  Three damages flew up, sweeping across the army. Each hit's damage was only around 50% of a normal attack, but several attacks stacked together were still quite impressive. However, it seems that this skill's damage is still no match for heavy hits, at least not now!

  “-38”

  The monster also started to counterattack, 69 points of damage is not fake. Generally, a level 10 swordsman with full power doesn't even have such high attack power. Fortunately, my defense is solid and my blood gas is sufficient. If I were to encounter an average defensive player, I estimate that this one hit could take away hundreds of their blood gas!

  Not enough time to be happy, the monster's huge flower bud suddenly opened, and it was about to cover my head. I was shocked, and quickly jumped back to avoid this attack, or else I would have been swallowed! The monster's attack wouldn't kill me, but by the time it spat me out, I'd probably be covered in ***, just thinking about it makes me feel sick!

  As I retreated, a fierce sword slash struck out, taking away more than 80 points of the monster's blood! The monster didn't attack its target and instead moved towards me. I was slightly stunned - this flower can actually run?!

  Wait, this is in the game! What can't be run in a game?!

  In order not to be swallowed by the monster's huge flower bud, I kept moving. Fortunately, the monster's movement speed was not fast either! But I am a close combat profession and must get close to attack. Unfortunately, the monster's normal attack speed is not slow, and it knocked down a lot of my blood gas. At this time, my blood gas basically relied on that novice potion to recover, fortunately, I didn't throw it away!

  The monster's devouring attack speed wasn't fast, giving me enough time to run away! After about 20 seconds, the first low-level man-eating flower finally fell under my feet!

  After killing 5 levels of monsters, the experience is not generally high, just killed one, and the experience bar has risen by 0.5%, calculated this way, killing 200 will be enough to upgrade!

  In addition, more than 20 copper coins were also exploded, which is still pretty good. After killing 200 of them, they can also be gathered into several gold coins!

  After killing for about half an hour, I heard the sound of "knocking" outside. I immediately understood that Xiaoyu or Liu Yu had come to call me. I killed the one in front of me and found a safe place to log off!

  Xiao Yu suddenly came up to me and excitedly said: "Older brother, I just reached level 10!"

  I was slightly surprised, the pastor could also reach level 10 so quickly, his speed wasn't slow!

  "Not bad, not bad, pretty fast!"

  "How about you?"

  I said faintly: "Me? I just reached level 10 half an hour ago!"

  "Damn it, I thought I was fast enough, but you're even faster than me!"

  "It's not his fault for being handsome!"

  "Despicable!"

  Liu Yu then said beside him: "I just reached level 10 too, we should all be in Tianfeng City!"

  I nodded along with Xiaoyu, who continued: "I just switched jobs, but the cost of learning skills is really too high, I only learned one!"

  Liu Yu: "Don't mention it, I'm also frustrated about this! After finally getting 10 gold, I thought I had a lot of money, but it's actually not enough!"

  I'm in trouble, those tens of gold coins are going to say goodbye to me!

  If you don't learn skills, your leveling efficiency will drop sharply, which is unacceptable. All I can say is: "Wait a minute, I'll give you some gold coins later, I got over 100 gold coins in the newbie village, it should be enough to learn skills!"

  At this moment, Xiao Yu and Liu Yu stared at me with wide eyes, and simultaneously blurted out two words: "Pervert!"

  I cooked three bowls of instant noodles and told them everything that happened in Newbie Village. Xiaoyu listened with excitement, saying "Wow, your equipment is so good! I originally planned to team up with Liu Yu later, but now I've decided to team up with you instead!"

  I laughed and said: "Of course you have to follow others, you're a pastor after all!"

  Xiaoyu's face was wooden: "Huh? What pastor?"

  "Aren't you a shepherd?"

  Xiao Yu became even more perplexed: "Huh? When did I ever practice being a pastor?"

  I was shocked: "Hey, didn't you agree to play a priest that day when we bought the gaming equipment?"

  Xiao Yu raised her head 45 degrees and gazed at the ceiling for 10 seconds before responding: "I forgot!"

  "What have you been practicing?"

  "Swordsman!"

  I: “......”

  This is a headache! I originally thought there was a pastor, so leveling up would be faster. Now it's two swordsmen, how troublesome!

  I looked at Liu Yu: "What have you been practicing?"

  Liu Yu: "Originally I wanted to train a knight, but the knight's upgrade is too slow. And after considering it, if the swordsman's equipment is good, he can completely be used as a knight, so I decided to train a mage for fun!"

  I nodded, in terms of attack output, mages are undoubtedly the first, at least they won't level up slowly!

  "Eat a bowl of noodles," I said. "You guys wait for me in Tianfeng City, and I'll go back to get the money and then take you to a place to level up!"

  ......

  After logging in, I immediately returned to the city and went straight to the vocational training center. I had already told them that my name was Wu Xin Jian Ke (Heartless Swordsman). As soon as I arrived, a man and a woman were already waiting for me at the entrance. The man's name was Shen Qi (Godly Tears), which meant that even gods would cry when they saw him - it was quite an impressive name! The woman's name was Fen Die Yu (Pink Butterfly Rain), which was a game name she had used for N years, Xiao Yu (Little Rain).

  The three of us added each other as friends, and two of them immediately went to learn the Bloodthirsty skill. Then we headed to the pharmacy, where I bought some monster-resistant gear. Xiaoyu's equipment was pretty good, so she didn't lose much health and didn't need much blue potion. Liu Yu had learned how to be a mage, so he definitely needed a lot of magic potions. So I steeled myself and spent 10 gold coins on potions, and also bought each of them a scroll to return to town. As a result, the 115 gold coins in my backpack were now reduced to just 20 gold coins. It's true that spending money is like flowing water - no matter how much you have, it's never enough! Especially since I still had to pay for the two of them!

  Xiao Yu laughed and said: "It's been a long time since I've spent your money so happily!"

  I glared at her and said, "Deduct it from your allowance!"

  "Hmm, didn't I pay for your birthday dinner with classmates last time? Shouldn't you return the money to me now?"

  I shuddered all over and hastily said: "Xiaoyu V5!"

  I thought of the Variant Slime King's explosion and immediately asked: "Liu Yu, what kind of staff are you using?"

  "Is there something better than a 5-star +9 attack?"

  I took out that Slime Staff, and Liu Yu's eyes lit up instantly!
