Chapter Twenty: Weakness Potion

  This siege had completely surrounded Ding Qiang, and this was still within the city walls. If they were outside the city, it would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn't pull out his sword and send all these people back into the city with a few swift cuts.

  "Undead Xiaoqiang? The life potions in the auction house were sold by you, weren't they?" someone shouted.

  "Join our company, with five insurances and one fund, two days off every week..."

  "Join our Snow Studio, where you can have beautiful women to massage your back during the day, warm your bed at night, and even have a female servant to greet you good morning..."

  "Join us..."

  Listening to these chaotic shouts around him, Ding Qiang immediately understood that all of this was because of those medicinal waters.

  In the early stages of the game, having a high-level alchemist in the guild can be of great help to the guild in various aspects. However, due to player loyalty considerations, large guilds will only focus on improving their own alchemists' skill levels.

  However, these small studios or workshops naturally have fewer worries. After all, they have a large personnel turnover rate. If they can directly poach each other's staff, wouldn't that save them a huge amount of money?

  It's just like the two medicines that Ding Qiang sold earlier, the cost was only around 10 copper coins, but the price was quadrupled, this profit is really dazzling.

  "What's alchemy?" Ding Qiang pretended to be unaware: "You've got the wrong person, haven't you?"

  "What?" The crowd was stunned: "You're not an alchemist, what are you doing running all the way here to Della?"

  "I'm buying medicine," said Ding Qiang.

  Deira is an alchemist and she also sells potions here. Sometimes because the general goods store is too crowded, some players will run to her place to buy potions.

  "It's all in vain...". A group of people waved their hands and dispersed with a murmur.

  He made a show of buying two bottles of potion from Dela, then quickly opened the skill list, and swiftly learned all the formulas displayed in green. Ding Feng immediately turned around and left, the whole process was done in one breath, without arousing anyone's attention.

  Ding Qiang let out a sigh of relief after glancing over the skills he had just learned.

  He must come here to learn skills because of a certain formula in it.

  [Minor Flame Protection Potion]: Increases your resistance to flames, reducing fire damage you take.

  This elementary flame retardant seems useless for the time being, but soon it will become a hot commodity in the hands of the big guilds.

  Everything, just because of the copy of Flame Land.

  All monsters in the Flame Land instance are fire-attribute attackers. The higher the flame resistance, the less damage players take. Therefore, to conquer the Flame Land instance, a basic flame-resistant potion is a must-have item.

  Of course, all of this is still only known to Ding Qiang for the time being, but soon, in front of that powerful and somewhat unbelievable BOSS, this fact will be understood by all the directors.

  One person one bottle, a team is 25 bottles, ten teams are 250 bottles, if you try it eight or ten times a day, the demand for medicine...

  Flame Flower, many players can collect it now, but at this stage, the formula has not been made public and Flame Land has not been opened yet. Most players do not know what the Flame Flower is used for, so the prices in the auction house are chaotic, with some priced at 1 gold coin and others at 10 copper coins.

  Set a search range and took down all Flame Flowers below 50 copper coins, Ding Qiang left the auction house.

  He had just walked a few steps when a player blocked his way...

  "Is it you?" Ding Qiang was stunned. The girl in front of him he recognized, she was Xiao Ai, the incompetent miner from the new village mine cave.

  "Haha, I've found you." Xiao Ai said with a pleased tone: "You're that medicine seller guy, aren't you?"

  "What's going on?" Ding pretended to be confused and asked.

  "Hmm, don't deny it, I saw everything. You secretly learned a skill from Dela just now, and then went to the auction house to search for medicinal materials. You're not only a miner, but also an alchemist, right?"

  Seeing that his opponent was well-prepared, Ding Qiang also stopped denying and frankly admitted: "That's right, it's me. What's the matter? Are you looking for me?"

  "Me..." Xiaoyu got tongue-tied and immediately sent a message to San Jie: "San Jie, San Jie, I found that alchemist, what's next?"

  "Remember his name, let's exchange business cards first." said Qing Cha Ice Cream.

  "Let's exchange name cards." Xiao Ai handed over the application for exchanging name cards.

  "Oh."

  "Goodbye."

  “……”

  Until Xia'ai's back disappeared from view, Ding Qiang still hadn't recovered.

  What does this girl want to do? Following me for so long just to change a business card?

  Shaking his head, he was about to drive the matter out of his mind when someone spoke up in the team's channel...

  "Ding Qiang, I...I...I saw...saw...it..." Cha Cha was so excited that she became incoherent.

  "What did you see?" Ding Qiang didn't react for a moment.

  "I... I saw that leopard." Chacha's voice was trembling: "Good heavens, it's right in front of me, I'm going to..."

  "Wait..." Ding Qiang hastily stopped him, but it was clear he was a step too late...

  "Huh? I was bitten to death..." Chacha said dully in the team channel.

  "Nonsense." Ding Qiang said irritably.

  Frost Blade Leopard is as high as level 20, belonging to the elite and rare monster, all attributes are about 130% higher than normal monsters, while Li Yan is only level 15, still a cloth armor profession, normally can't withstand Frost Blade Leopard's attack.

  "I'll go try again..." Chacha said.

  "No, you can't make it on your own, let's go together." Ding Qiang said, and immediately turned around to head in another direction.

  "No way, what if someone takes it away while we're not looking? I'll go and guard it." said Chacha.

  "Whatever..."

  Tea unexpectedly really found Frost Blade Leopard, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. To know, in the previous life, being able to capture Frost Blade Leopard as a pet was the wish of countless players, especially beast-type hunters, who regarded this pet as a divine pet.

  The pets summoned by hunters are different from those of summoners. The pets they summon, regardless of what pet it is, all have their levels cleared to zero and need to be trained bit by bit, unlike summoners who can do so with one effort.

  However, compared to the Summoner having to change pets every now and then, Hunters don't have this problem because their pet's level is tied to their own...

  Cha Cha said she wanted to catch Frost Blade Leopard, Ding Qiang thought it was a joke in his heart, and because he never thought she would meet Frost Blade Leopard, so he didn't prepare anything.

  Fortunately, he is extremely familiar with the things that need to be prepared, so it won't waste too much time...

  It wasn't long before Ding Qiang arrived at the scene, and he heard Chacha's angry voice in the team channel: "I've been killed..."

  "What?"

  "I had just arrived there when a summoner came out and killed me." Chacha was very angry: "The leopard is going to be summoned away by them."

  "Don't worry, it's okay, they can't summon it easily. Frost Blade Leopard isn't that simple to call upon." While comforting Chacha, Ding Qiang quickened his pace.

  Although he didn't think anyone could summon Frost Blade Leopard in such a short time, he still had to hurry out of caution.

  After winding through several alleys, he arrived at a secluded alley in Holy Light City and aimed at a slightly worn-out door, Ding Qiang lowered his head and slipped inside.

  Inside the room, a middle-aged NPC with a big beard is standing in front of a table, and on the table and windowsill are all sorts of bottles and jars.

  Seeing Ding Qiang walk in, the NPC said: "Young man..."

  Ding Qiang didn't bother to reason with him and directly drew his sword to slash at him.

  "Murder! Help...!" The middle-aged NPC's face changed, and he immediately ran towards the door, but found his way blocked by Ding Qiang. The NPC then suddenly pulled out a large ghost-headed knife from somewhere and hacked at Ding Qiang with a loud "ah".

  A middle-aged NPC named Harrier the Deceiver lives in Holy Light City, but he doesn't actually belong to it. His true identity is that of a bandit from a stronghold outside the city. His ultimate goal is to create a poison to kill all humans in Holy Light City so he can take over without bloodshed.

  "System Prompt: You have killed the swindler Harry. Your reputation with the bandits has changed from neutral to hated."

  "You have obtained Weakness Potion ×2."

  Debilitating Potion: Reduces target's attack power and attack speed by 90% for 5 minutes.

  At level 15, I wanted to catch Frostbite Panther, Harry's death drop weak medicine is essential.

  "Where are you now? Do you still remember the coordinates of that Frost Blade Leopard?" Ding Qiang asked while rushing along.

  "Remember, it's 56435, 454, but that Frost Blade Leopard is so fierce... I won't be able to withstand it..." Knowing Ding Qiang's strength, Cha Cha wasn't worried about those people, she was only worried that the leopard's attack power was too high and she might not be able to withstand it.

  "Don't worry, leave it to me." At this time, Lin Yi had also finished learning the skill. Ding Qiang called him up and the three of them rushed towards the coordinates that Cha Cha mentioned together.

  ……

  Before long, the three of them arrived at the coordinates Chacha had mentioned.

  To everyone's surprise, however, there was no Frostblade Leopard in sight, only a few grey wolves roaming around.

  "It's gone, someone has taken it away." Lin Yi said beside him.

  "Ah......" Chacha was instantly disappointed to the extreme.

  "Don't spout nonsense." Ding Qiang looked around and said, "The small monsters in this area haven't been cleared out, they must have been lured away by someone. Let's split up and search all around, it should be nearby."

  "Oh."

  As expected, Lin Yi shouted in the team channel after a short while: "Come quickly, I've seen it."

  Soon, Ding Qiang and Cha Cha rushed over, but looking at the situation on the field, Ding Qiang's face changed slightly.

  People of the Overbearing Family?

  On the field, there was another summoner, who was carrying a Frost Blade Leopard on one side and waving a faint white light on the other, apparently trying to tame it as his own pet. Next to him was a string of priests, constantly brushing his life, while on the other side were four or five teammates standing there, sizing up Ding Qiang and his group, with names prefixed with the two characters "Ba Qi", obviously part of Ba Qi Ling Yun's gang.

  "Damn it, I'm one step too late." Lin Ye cursed in frustration.

  "It was him who killed me." Chacha said angrily, pointing at the summoner.

  Seeing that the Frost Blade Leopard's head still had a full life, Ding Qiang's heart suddenly became much more at ease. The lower the monster's life value, the higher the summoning success rate, and this summoner in front of him clearly didn't know about this system setting...

  P.S. Some friends said that the first two chapters are not bad, thank you, actually I am also most satisfied with the first two chapters. As for the later ones... I can only say that I will try my best to maintain this standard, so that everyone can enjoy reading it and think it's good.
