Chapter 14 Explosive Equipment

  Thinking back to the previous two tasks, the direct start-up task, plus this trigger-style task, Lin Chen suddenly seemed to understand.

  The task of escaping and entering the Sunset Forest was because I had promised to help Xia Lu, so there was a task prompt. This time, however, the triggered task was because I wanted to help, or because this young man asked for my assistance, which is why there was such a triggered task.

  "Since I promised to find you a luminous potion, I will definitely bring it back", although somewhat understanding how to accept the task, looking at the young man's expectant gaze, Lin Chen nodded and said, with a firm expression: "Wait for some time, wait until I return from the Sunset Forest, and I will give you a luminous potion".

  "Alright, I understand. I'll definitely wait for you." Hearing Lin Chen's words, although they still had to wait for some time, it was better than having no hope at all like before.

  "Wait until I come back...", since he had already accepted this task, Lin Chen would not refuse. Moreover, for Lin Chen, it was just a luminous potion, which could help others and also bring him 2000 experience points as a reward. This deal was a win-win situation.

  After leaving the old house, Lin Chen's mood was quite good, not just because he received a task, but mainly because Lin Chen knew how to trigger the task, which was the main thing.

  Everyone who has played online games knows that although the early stages are leveled up quickly, if only monsters are leveled up, it will be very difficult in the later stages. Therefore, at a later stage, doing tasks is still the fastest way to level up.

  After returning to his own room, Lin Chen lay down and fell asleep. The next morning, Lin Chen got up, washed up, ate something, and then he and Xia Lu walked through the bustling hall, heading straight for the Sunset Forest.

  In the town, Lin Chen casually picked a long sword as his weapon, after all, among the four skills he currently had, both Weapon Mastery and Heavy Slash required a weapon.

  "Inferior Iron Sword (Normal), requires level 11, attack 18-24, weight 5, durability 6/6." Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the long sword in his hand, but there was no way around it. He didn't have any materials to re-forge it with right now, and some of the casting masters' materials were quite expensive.

  Although he is helping her now, spending too much of Hua Xiaolu's money makes Lin Chen feel very embarrassed, after all, in his subconscious mind, Lin Chen still has a bit of chauvinism.

  "Let's go...", although somewhat dissatisfied with the weapon in hand, having one is still better than not having any, and wielding a weapon that one is skilled with can even increase their attack power by 10%, which isn't bad.

  With a poor-quality iron sword in hand, Lin Chen and Xia Lu directly walked into the Sunset Forest. At this time, there were also many adventurers or mercenaries entering the forest from the town. Looking around, it was quite lively, but after going deeper for about a kilometer, you could slowly see some low-level magical beasts. Moreover, those mercenaries and adventurers who had entered the forest together also slowly dispersed...

  "Upper hook fist", facing a Lv14 demon beast, Lin Chen was also happy to exercise his combat power at this time. Although he knew how to cast these skills, now he was in reality, not in the game, and wanted to become stronger, exercising his combat skills was necessary.

  "Bang!", a direct punch, Lin Chen's uppercut fist directly hit the lower jaw of the ferocious wolf in front of him. Although it didn't send the wolf flying, it still made the wolf let out a miserable howl.

  "Heavy slash!!!", after a uppercut punch, Lin Chen's inferior iron sword directly swept across, both hands grasping the sword and heavily slashing down, currently Lin Chen's strongest attack skill appeared.

  Heavy Slash: Concentrate inner power, use the weapon in hand to make a powerful downward slash, increase attack power by 60%, cooldown time 5 seconds, consume MP 15, LV 8.

  Originally, a single uppercut would have shattered the wolf's lower jawbone, and now another heavy chop comes down, increasing the attack by 60%. Adding Lin Chen's own attack power and the bonus from his mastery of the weapon, this move unleashed an attack power that exceeded 60 points.

  "Ahhh!!!", the inferior iron sword directly cut through the fierce wolf's defense, a blood flower burst forth, this fierce wolf was chopped into by Lin Chen's long sword, let out a mournful cry, finally, the fiercely enraged wolf seemed to also know that its life was not long, and frantically pounced towards Lin Chen...

  "Kick fly!!!!", looking at the pouncing fierce wolf, Lin Chen's leg drew a residual shadow, directly kicking this fierce wolf's body, and kicked it flying for four or five meters. Although the kick fly move didn't have any attacking power, it simply retreated the target, but when this move was launched, the speed of the leg's attack was absolutely very fast, ordinary people couldn't even see clearly before being kicked flying out.

  He kicked the ferocious wolf flying four or five meters away, and Lin Chen accelerated to catch up. Without any skills, he simply raised his inferior iron sword with both hands and inserted it into the wolf's head with a loud howl, instantly killing the ferocious wolf.

  "Ding, killed Lv14 ferocious wolf, gained 136 experience points, obtained equipment Wolf Skin Armor", the system's prompt echoed in Lin Chen's mind, making him stunned. Was this for real? Gaining experience from killing monsters was already unbelievable, and now he could even get equipment drops?

  Thinking of this, Lin Chen hastily opened his package and indeed found an additional piece of equipment inside. However, when placed alongside the surrounding legendary and top-tier equipment that emitted various colored glows, it seemed somewhat out of place.

  "Wolf Skin Armor (Normal), Defense 17-22, Magic Defense 5-8, Weight 3, Durability 10/10. Looking at the stats of this wolf skin armor, it's just a normal piece of equipment after all. Lin Chen pouted silently, but still put it on, after all, something is better than nothing."

  "This world may be dangerous, but it also has some advantages that can't be compared to those in games." After putting on the wolf skin armor, Lin Chen looked at the ferocious wolf that had already died under his feet and nodded to himself in secret.

  If it were in a game, a 14-level monster would not be so easy to solve. No matter where you hit it, the damage is about the same. At most, some places like the throat will give you a critical hit or a fatal attack. If the health bar is not cleared, it won't die. But here, even if it's a giant dragon, as long as you cut its throat, it will still die.

  Compared to before, killing monsters seems simpler, but thinking about it again, it's not entirely the case. The monsters in the game are just data and don't have any intelligence to speak of. Although they can't be instantly killed with a single attack, these monsters will only follow the set attack patterns defined by the system, unlike the magical beasts in this world, which all have their own bit of intelligence and are no longer just rigid data.

  "Wow, you easily defeated a level 2 magical beast!" At this time, Xia Lu, who was watching from the side, walked up with a look of surprise on her face and said. Lin Chen was just a novice swordsman, but he had actually solved a magical beast of the same level so easily, which really surprised Xia Lu.
