I threw the armor in my bag and immediately grabbed the end of the Ginseng Earthworm and dragged it back to camp. I started and stopped for almost 30 minutes until I finally arrived at the camp. Dalin was snoring thunders within his tent!
I walked up to him, kicked him in the leg and said, “Teacher, look what I brought back for you!”
“Eh?”
Dalin opened his sleepy eyes, but when he saw the Ginseng Earthworm, he immediately jumps up, “Good job little guy, you actually caught the Ginseng Earthworm! I have a whole new level of respect for you now!”
“……”
The tamer was very excited and raised both his arms and roared towards the direction of Dragon City. Within half a minute, dozens of Dragon City warriors came rushing down and one of them asked, “Master Dalin, what’s wrong?!”
He pointed and sayed, “Look, what’s that?!”
“Ah?”
The face of the officer went completely red: “That’s…That’s the legendary Ginseng Earthworm! Oh heavens, rumors say that Ginseng Earthworms are very cunning, so it’s extremely hard to kill or catch them. You guys got such a nice one!”
“It’s all thanks to this new scavenger!”
“Great! Dragon City will reward you appropriately!”
The officer walked up to me, patted my shoulders and smiled: “I hereby represent the King of Dragon City, Luo Lin, and give you these rewards, I hope you will receive it!”
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations! You have provided a top-class ingredient to Dragon City, and received 24000 points of experience along with 1 extra point in charm. Your fame in Dragon City is rising!
……
Whoosh!
A ray of golden light, and finally, I had finally risen to level 30!
I ignored Dalin, the officer and the other NPCs and immediately grabbed all the equipment from my bag. With a bang, I wore the Silver Locked Battle Boots and the Armor of the Earth. Since the swordsman class could wear heavy armor, I didn’t need to sell these boots or the armor! My defense increased exponentially. By wearing these shiny silver boots and this glowing armor, I finally felt like a presentable soldier.
Hua!
With the wave of my hand, the half-broken staff became the Jade City Sword, the first gold-ranked weapon in the entire server! I was going to really rely on this sword from now on. A wave of strength entered my body, which was the result of the massive increase in attack damage! At the same time, I opened a window of my own stats and even I was shocked by my own stats!
【Xiao Yao Zi Zai】(Scavenger of Dragon City)
Level: 30
Attack: 514-695
Defense: 259
Health: 740
Mana: 320
Charm: 26
……
The extra 300 attack from Jade City Sword was extremely strong. It almost raised my attack up to 700 points and the defense was also 259 points now. Also, the Jade City Sword and Silver-Locked Boots added a total of 41 endurance, and with the base power endurance of swordsman at 0.8, it added up to a total of 328 extra HP, which made my total HP to 740 points. I had a really strong attack and defense!
TL: Apparently growth for hp is *10 per stat point o.O Sorry!
Clang!
I picked up the sword, and [Turmoil Sword] immediately activated, 10% extra attack damage!
With the flick of my wrist, I made the sword dance. With small moves here and there, it was definitely not something players could do if they didn’t practice swords in reality. Oh, I better start doing some level grinding!
I said bye to my instructor Dalin and entered the wilderness once more. This time, I challenged level 36 [Wild Hyenas]. This type of hyenas were very cunning and had high agility, but I should be able to kill it.
Around 20 yards in front of me, I saw one hyena growling lowly. It seemed like he/she was attracting a mate.
“Go!”
This time, Bobo stayed where he was and I went instead. My sword started to glow and the golden hexagram appeared at the edge of the sword, level 2 [Combo] was whizzing downwards!
Pupu!
“379!”
“401!”
Looking at these huge damage numbers, I felt slightly dizzy. This was the direction I wanted to go!
The hyena cried out and waved its sharp claws. With a bang, it left a claw mark on my armor and took away 97 HP. Hehe, I had this heavy armor, you couldn’t harm me!
I violently slashed my sword horizontally, then I started my attack of [Stab+Slash+Hack+Ram+Slash] and this time it felt a lot smoother. All 5 attacks finished in 2.9 seconds and it knocked the Wild Hyena back!
Two more attacks and the level 36 hyena cried then died.
I stood there and my mind went blank for a while. During the 5 strikes I felt something special, like having a familiar technique just appear in front of me. Also, the time it took for the performance of the 5 strikes had decreased significantly, it definitely wasn’t the 1.0 seconds per attack that it was supposed to be. You didn’t need any science for this, it told you one thing, that I was close to creating my own combo skill!
……
As I was happy about my new fortune, I heard a drop. A message coming from level 33 Cang Tong, which was also the beautiful Miss——Lin Wan Er!
“Li Xiao Yao, you’re level training?” She asked.
“Yeah, it’s 9 p.m. now, you want a night snack Miss?”
“Yeah, is that not ok?”
“I’ll be there immediately, I’ll wait for you downstairs!”
“Mm…”
