The levels were pretty close to one another and Yan Zhao’s level was rising pretty fast as well. He probably didn’t sleep last night and kept on leveling up. Even the Generals couldn’t chase up to his level. The two beauty assassins also had their places on the leaderboard. Black Tortoise and Fierce Tiger had been on Ba Huang City’s leaderboard for quite a long time, so it was no surprise that they showed up this time. As for Frozen Gravestone, he was a new high-level player. The early stages of the game had a lot of competition, but the skilled players showed their dominance in the later stages.
I checked my own position on the leaderboard, it was 271st place, level 30 Scavenger of Dragon City. Looking at this placement, I was extremely proud of myself. I had finally reached the top 10000 in a game!
In the morning, I did my profession job, excrement mover. After I became an apprentice, Beast Tamer Dalin just sat around all day eating meat and picking his teeth. He didn’t do any work whatsoever.
……
I took Bobo and walked around the wilderness, bringing back a few piles of excrement from Phoenixes. From that, I gained some experience, and afterwards, I tried talking to the quartermaster. Finally the quartermaster spoke: “Young Scavenger of Dragon City! To the West of the city are some uninvited guests! They are strong trolls and I hear that they are the crossbreeds of whales and lions. Go there and kill 100 trolls then come back to collect your reward!”
“Ding!”
System Notification: Do you accept the quest [Slaughter the Trolls]? (Quest difficulty: A)
Very nice, I quickly accepted it, and an A level quest popped up in my quest menu. Why would a quest that asked to kill normal monsters be an A ranked quest? This could only mean one thing, the levels of the trolls were higher than mine. Damn, it may not be me slaughtering them but rather the other way around!
I went to talk to Dalin again: “Instructor, do you have some secret skill that you can pass down to me?!”
Currently, I couldn’t return back to Ba Huang City to learn new skills so the only skill I had from being a swordsman was the [Combo]. Also, I didn’t even have a chance to learn Quick Blade, Parry, or Heavy Strike etc. since I could only learn skills from this extremely unreliable instructor!
Dalin laid on his little grass bed in his tent and didn’t even bat me an eye. His finger picked his nose and he flung a snot-ball at me——“Nope!”
Clang!
I pull out my Jade sword and sliced that snot-ball in half and said angrily: “Then I’m leaving…”
……
Walking west for 10 minutes, I reached a dark green valley, the area for my quest. In the forest, 3 meter high trolls were just sitting there and between every two trolls was a boiling pot of soup. The Trolls had sharp teeth and a strong body. In addition, when their skin rubbed against their rock seats, sparks appeared! These monsters!
I inched my way forward, and I looked at their stats. Damn, I couldn’t see most of their stats, but I could see the level——
