Volume 1 Chapter 11 I am the Strongest
I entered the game and checked my status. Haha, my attack was as high as 451-469, with 12 points of ice damage. Because I added the two attribute points of level 15 and level 18 to physical fitness and spiritual awareness respectively, my HP reached 957, and my physical defense and magic defense were 180-195 and 89-102 respectively (I changed to a level 15 attribute armor, which added 3-5 physical defense and 2-4 magic defense, magic damage -10%, plus the ring, magic damage -15% in total). And "Thrust" has been upgraded to level 2, so I can hit more than 721 attacks! Even if you subtract the 15% reduction of "black fog", it is still more than 613, which can kill vampire bats in seconds! But my magic water has been used up, and I still have more than half of my life water left, but the last torch is only a short piece left, so I have to go back to the city to replenish it first.
I went back to the city and went to the bank to withdraw money... Damn, I spent more than 20 gold coins just to level up! That's more than 20 yuan! My heart is bleeding! I'm not a rich man. If I can't break even while leveling up, then 500 gold coins won't last long!
I’ve decided to go down to the second floor and kill the Boss!
Because the backpack load and space have been greatly increased after the upgrade, I brought 20 bundles of magic water this time. Although the MP consumption of level 2 thrust has increased to 14 points, it is enough! I have never used the holy water and antidote. The antidote is just for precaution. There are no poisonous monsters in the first three floors of the dark cave. I am leveling on the first floor. Even if I am hit by the 1% paralysis of the "black fog", the bats' attacks will not hurt me anyway. I will just wait for 5 seconds for it to be automatically removed. There is no need to waste 30 silver coins for a bottle of holy water. But this time I am preparing to fight the boss, so the situation is different, so I bought 5 more bottles of holy water and two boxes of gold medicine.
Arriving at the dark cave, I headed towards the southeast passage. Although there are many entrances from the first floor to the second floor, I know that the super boss will spawn in this direction. Going down from other entrances, I can only encounter the ordinary boss giant bat. There is not much point in challenging the ordinary boss, I am here for the bat king!
Going down to the second floor, the proportion of vampire bats increased greatly, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of bats. Being besieged by more than 10 vampire bats is still very scary. After three or four rounds of attacks, there will always be four or five vampires that hit you. If you are unlucky, you may even be hit by seven or eight. Your HP is dropping rapidly! Bats are very sensitive, and ordinary warriors may not hit you once after two attacks. Therefore, even warriors above level 20 will have a headache in this place - although there is no danger of dying, you have to drink medicine You can't waste money like this, right?
But my situation was much better, my hidden luck played a role, only three vampires attached to me on average, and the precision plus high attack caused instant kills, it didn't take long to kill all the bats, and the blood-sucking effect was greatly reduced. Of course, I couldn't be careless, and I slowed down my pace a lot, trying to only disturb one group of bats, otherwise if I was surrounded by dozens of vampire bats, I would not be able to bear it.
However, the experience gained by vampire bats is much higher than that by ghost bats. At my current level, killing a ghost bat only gives me 336 experience points, while killing a vampire bat gives me 438 experience points!
I killed my way through, and when I was almost at the end of the second floor, I suddenly realized that there was no bat in front of me. Hehe, the super boss must be in front of me. The Bat King's territory cannot be invaded by small monsters .
Sure enough, after I walked a dozen steps, I saw with the help of the torchlight that the terrain ahead suddenly became clear. It was no longer a narrow tunnel, but a huge underground cave! But where was the Bat King hiding?
I walked into the cave carefully. It was filled with stalagmites protruding from the ground and inverted stalactites hanging in an jagged pattern. The stalactites were of various shapes, and their surface seemed to be coated with a layer of colored glaze. In the light of the fire, they were colorful and dazzling.
During the internal test, although I had heard of this cave from other players, I was already at a high level in the Dark Cave at that time, and I always went directly into the deeper levels to explore, but I had never come to kill the Bat King. At this moment, when I saw the strange sight, I was dazzled, and my mind was completely immersed in this magnificent scene, unaware that the crisis was approaching!
Suddenly, the light of the torch dimmed, and a huge black shadow passed over my head. I instinctively turned my head and felt a slight pain in my left shoulder. At the same time, the system prompted: You were attacked by a giant bat, Health -87 (870/957).
Giant bat? I was shocked. This thing is not easy to deal with! Its attack, defense, and agility are twice as high as those of vampire bats. Its skill "Enhanced Black Mist" can reduce the target's attack and defense by 20%, paralyze it by 2%, and its skill "Claws" has a 10% chance of tearing the target's wound and causing continuous blood loss!
I looked around and found myself surrounded by four giant bats! They were standing on top of stalagmites or hanging upside down on stalactites, staring at me with their small black bean-like eyes, ready to pounce and attack at any time!
However, my mind was not on them. With four bosses appearing at once, the Bat King must be nearby. That is my biggest enemy! Although both are H-level bosses, the Bat King is much more powerful than the Goblin King, and it seems to be more cunning. It has not appeared yet, so it is preparing to attack me at a critical moment and give me a fatal blow!
Hehe, that's fine, I will defeat you one by one and get rid of your followers first!
Aiming at the giant bat that had just attacked me, I raised my sword and rushed forward. As the saying goes, a single move affects the entire body. As soon as I moved, four giant bats spread their wings and flew up at the same time, swooping down on me. Two of them opened their mouths and sprayed out a large cloud of thick black mist, while the claws of the other two shone with a faint light, and they were using the enhanced black mist and cracking claws skills respectively.
I had no chance of competing with the bats in terms of speed, so I simply didn't dodge or evade and took all four attacks. The defense reduction effect of the enhanced black fog was immediately reflected, and the two bats with their claws knocked off more than 250 HP in total. Fortunately, neither paralysis nor tearing was successful.
At the same time, my thrust took away 420 health points from a giant bat. More importantly, in the moment of crossing each other, I finally broke through the encirclement of four bats, rushed to a thick stalagmite, turned around and leaned my back against the stalagmite, occupying a favorable terrain.
In this way, although the four giant bats can still attack me at the same time, I don’t have to worry about what’s behind me, so fighting is much easier. Moreover, the threat posed to me by the bat king hiding in the dark is much smaller.
Seeing that I was defending firmly, the giant bats were not in a hurry to attack. They just circled and danced among the stalagmites and stalactites in the cave, as if looking for an opportunity to attack.
Damn, do the developers of New Era Group have too much energy? Why would they create such a high-level AI? Isn't this just causing trouble for me?
Hehehe, don't think I'm helpless. Do you think my second job as an archer is fake? Among the nearly 30 pieces of equipment I got in the Goblin Cave, there was a rubbish bow and arrow. Qianshan Feiniao didn't take mine because she already had one (ordinary archers can get a white equipment bow and arrow when they complete the task of changing their job. I changed my job for a special task, so there is no such good thing). I always carry it in my backpack and bought a tube of arrows for emergency use. But killing bats is a close combat, and using a bow and arrow is far less fast than using a dagger, so I haven't used it. Now it's time to put it to use!
I first added a solidity to myself to make up for the defense loss caused by the super black fog, then changed my weapon to a bow and arrow, aimed at a giant bat and shot an arrow. Alas, the archer's attack power is not as good as the knight's, and it only deducted more than 200 HP, but my goal has been achieved! When the giant bat saw that I had a means of long-range attack, it immediately changed its tactics and rushed towards me. Haha, the computer is a computer, no matter how high the AI is, it is easy to fool. In fact, I only brought a tube of arrows, that is, 50 arrows, even if all hit a giant bat, it can't kill it, right?
Since they were willing to come to me and die, I quickly put away my bow and arrows, took out my dagger and chopped a giant bat in the head. Haha, after adding the solidity, my defense is higher. A round of siege by four giant bats can only knock down about 400 HP of me. A bottle of super life water can withstand two rounds of attacks!
In fact, it is rare for four bats to use physical attacks at the same time. They will take turns to spray out enhanced black mist, hoping that the paralysis effect will work. Unfortunately, the success rate of paralysis is only 2%. I am lucky and it is rare for me to be "paralyzed". Even if I am hit, a bottle of holy water will immediately return to normal, and even the effect of the black mist will be removed, but I will be hit again immediately.
However, the tearing claws caused me a lot of trouble. The chance of wound tearing was 10%. Every three or four rounds of attack, a wound would be torn open on my body. Although the pain simulation was only 10%, the tearing was still very uncomfortable. What's more serious is that the tearing will cause continuous blood loss, HP-30/s. If there are more wounds, I don't need to fight anymore. I'd better go back to the city to find a doctor!
Fortunately, I was well prepared and spent two more gold coins to buy two boxes of gold medicine to carry with me. The gold medicine can heal the wound within three seconds. One box can be used 50 times, so two boxes should be enough.
I fought hard for nearly 20 minutes and finally killed a giant bat. Two of the remaining three were seriously injured, and one had lost more than half of its blood. Suddenly, I felt a shock all over my body, as if my head was hit by a sledgehammer. Although I didn't feel any pain, I felt dizzy and almost lost my balance. My life dropped by one third!
Damn, the Bat King is out with his innate skill “Supersonic Shock Wave”!
Damn, I didn't expect the Bat King to be so powerful. I wonder if I can defeat him? I quickly drank a bottle of Super. Now I have to deal with three giant bats as soon as possible. Two of them are seriously injured. One has a -50% attack and is no longer a threat to me, but the other one has a last-ditch recovery, with an attack and defense increase of 20% each. %$#$...$#!
A bat with a faint red glow all over its body flew down from the top of the cave. Its body was half the size of the giant bat, but its demeanor was very majestic. It was the Bat King!
I ignored the appearance of the Bat King and continued to stab. Although the serious injury meant that it only had 10% of its health left, the giant bat was still a boss after all. I didn't know how much HP it had, but it must have been over 10,000, especially after its last moments of life, its defense had greatly increased. It didn't die even after being stabbed by me three times, and the Bat King had already flown in front of me and opened its mouth to bite me!
With a "puff", the bat king bit my left hand that was covering my face. I felt a pain in my arm and then a numbness. A wisp of red mist floated out of the wound and was sucked into the bat king's bloody mouth. Oooooh... The advanced skill "Blood Fang" of "Bloodsucking" loses HP-50/s and converts it into the bat king's HP. Moreover, gold medicine is ineffective on this kind of wound!
While I was entangled by the Bat King, three giant bats launched a series of attacks. Fortunately, the attack of one of them could not break my defense, but the last-gasp one took away 300 HP from me. Damn, they were definitely taking advantage of the situation, and they actually hit me with a critical hit at this critical moment?
Although the super life water can restore +150HP/s, under such a strong continuous attack, I only have less than one-third of my life left! If I want to escape now, I still have enough time to use the return scroll, but this will not only delay time, but also by the time I get back here from outside, the three giant bats will have automatically restored their health, and my previous efforts will be in vain. But if I can survive this most difficult moment and kill the two seriously injured giant bats, I still have hope of defeating the Bat King!
I calculated quickly in my mind, gritted my teeth and decided to fight. I stared at the bat that was finally alive and ignored the attacks of the Bat King. I stabbed it again and the giant bat let out a sharp cry, as if it knew it was no longer able to block my next attack, so it spread its wings and flew high, trying to escape to a distant place to recover its health.
"Where are you running!" I yelled (haha, I was so excited and involved), and switched weapons as quickly as possible, shooting an arrow that hit the bat's wing. Although it only took away 186 HP, the giant bat was already at the end of its rope, and its health was at the bottom. It was killed by this light arrow and fell headfirst from mid-air!
In this way, in fact, only the Bat King and a giant bat are attacking me, but I can't let go of the other seriously injured one - now its attack is -50%. If I wait until its health recovers to more than 10% and the seriously injured state is lifted, and then I chop it into serious injury again, it might explode with anger!
As the saying goes, it is better to pursue the enemy with all your remaining courage. I changed back to the short sword and slashed at the target. I found that as long as there was no skill attack, I could still withstand the Bat King and a giant bat. The Bat King's ordinary attack only deducted about 250 HP, and the giant bat 100 HP. In addition, I lost 50 HP per second after being hit by the "Blood Fang". With the support of the super life water, my health was maintained at a level of 300-350, but I was afraid of a fatal attack, and God knew when the Bat King would use another "ultrasonic shock wave"!
Maybe I was lucky, I didn't receive any special "reception" until I killed the seriously injured bat. I was relieved and didn't rush to fight with the bat king. I circled around the stalagmite. After all, the wingspan of bats is not small when they fly. To avoid the stalagmite, they have to draw a semi-arc in the air before they can attack me, which caused their attack frequency to drop significantly. I kept drinking medicine and my life gradually replenished.
After my HP exceeded 800 and there was absolutely no danger of being killed instantly, I stopped and fought with the giant bat for a few swords. If the bat king had a critical hit, a fatal hit, an ultrasonic shock wave, a bat wing slash, etc., causing my health to drop too quickly, I would start circling again. Anyway, I have a lot of health water. Although this tactic prolongs the battle time and increases the total number of attacks, it doesn't matter if I use a few more bottles of medicine. Safety comes first.
After several rounds of torture, the last giant bat fell down unwillingly. Hehe, it would be much easier to fight the Bat King alone!
A sword thrust out...Miss?
Come again! M again!
Weird, did I forget to add accuracy? I added accuracy, then thrust... hit! The Bat King lost 486 HP. The Bat King doesn't have the Black Mist skill, but the Black Mist that the giant bat put on me just now has been removed . Now my thrust attack power is over 722! It can be seen that the Bat King's defense power has reached about 250!
But it doesn't matter, who told me that my attack is high, it's hard to say whether a level 30 warrior can compare with me! And I brought enough medicine, so if I keep fighting like this, it's only a matter of time before I kill the Bat King!
Soon I found out that it wasn't that easy, because the Bat King blocked my attacks twice in a row!
Damn, isn't the Bat King's agility too abnormal ? After adding accuracy, I have to hit at least 4 out of 5 hits on the giant bat. The hit rate against the Bat King is only one-third? If it weren't for the accuracy, wouldn't it be a miss? No wonder some people in the internal test said that the actual ability of the Bat King should be ranked as a G-level boss!
But now that it has come to this, I have to fight on. It's exhausting! The blood fangs of the bat king absorb 50 HP of my life per second and convert it into its own life, but it usually takes me 4 or 5 seconds to hit it with a sword, and it takes a minute to knock off 3500 HP of it. During this period, it will automatically restore its life twice, 1000 HP each time, I am tired!
After nearly half an hour, I was exhausted and my life force water was almost used up (this was because I was careful to dodge and avoided some of the Bat King's attacks, so I didn't have to drink medicine continuously), and finally killed the Bat King!
System prompt: Player Bloody Sky, congratulations on becoming the third player in this game to kill an H-level Boss. The system rewards you with 800 reputation points!
The third one? So after I killed the Goblin King, did anyone challenge the super boss again? After all, the Goblin King is the easiest one to kill among the super bosses, but it is unlikely that anyone can challenge him alone. It was probably killed by some crazy leveling guys (I am one of them) in a team. They are pretty strong, but compared to me... Oh hehe... I am not a mortal!
I picked up the loot on the ground. Alas, bats are poorer than goblins. Four bosses plus a bat king only dropped more than 90 gold coins and 17 pieces of equipment, and there is no treasure house to search. Forget it, I am satisfied enough. At least I earned back the money for potions...
I quickly identified the equipment attributes, and they were all ordinary level 18 to 25 equipment, and there were not many pieces that were suitable for me. However, it would still be a good idea to give them to Wei and Jimo to change their clothes when they reach a certain level.
Wait, why can't I identify something? It stands to reason that an H-level boss can't drop equipment above level 30, so...
Hahahaha, it’s sent, it must be a dark gold equipment! And judging from the shape, it is a spear-type weapon, which should be used by knights!
With a happy mood, I walked out of the cave. The bats outside refreshed again, and I just killed them all the way back.
When I returned to the first floor from the second floor, my level was raised again. Now I am level 19! Looking at the time, it is almost seven o'clock, and my life water and magic water are all used up. It's time to go back to the city.
After returning to Shenghua City, he went straight to the appraisal shop and threw the spear in front of the NPC. The NPC said without even looking up: "10 gold coins!"
Damn it, go over and grab it!
Unfortunately, now that the game is open, although there are appraisers who have changed their professions, no one can appraise high-end goods such as dark gold equipment, so there is nothing we can do about it and we will be ripped off!
After paying 10 gold coins, the appraiser NPC waved his hand and a beam of light enveloped the spear. When the light dissipated, the appearance of the spear changed miraculously. It was originally a 2-meter-long, rusty standard spear with a rust mark on the tip and the body. Now it is slightly shorter, about 1.8 meters long, with two undulating ripples on the tip of the spear. The handle is black and engraved with strange spells like tadpole script. The whole thing is full of a weird feeling, but the body of the spear emits a faint golden light, which is indeed dark gold equipment.
I picked up the gun and took a closer look. The system's prompts flashed before my eyes about the gun's attributes:
Name: Bloodthirsty Demonic Spear
Category: Weapons (two-handed), Dark Gold Equipment
Attributes: Physical attack power 50~180, attack speed +10%, hit +10%, life absorption 5%
Weight: 25
Durability: 50/50
Equipment requirements: Level 25, for knights only
Ahaha, amazing properties! The attack power is similar to the strength of the hand axe, but the important thing is the 5% life absorption! This means that every attack I make with this gun will convert 5% of the target's lost HP into my own life value, which is equivalent to carrying an extra medium-sized life water that constantly replenishes blood! Maybe when I go out to level up in the future, as long as I don't encounter a boss, I don't need to bring a blood bottle! Just based on this point, the 10 gold coins for the appraisal fee just now are definitely worth it.
I walked out of the store with satisfaction, went to the bank first, put the bloodthirsty demon gun in the warehouse, and then called Mo Ji, Han Jiang and others. Except for Fei Niao (still sleeping), everyone else was online, including A Wei. They were teaming up outside the city to level up, and I said, "Taibai Restaurant, I'll treat you." They all returned to the city in a flash...
After everyone gathered, we went to Taibai Restaurant and asked for a private room. We called the waiter NPC and ordered dishes. We ordered countless delicious dishes that we had only heard of but never eaten in real life, such as shark fin, red plum pearl fragrance, Kung Pao wild rabbit, auspicious dragon flying together, stir-fried frog, and stir-fried pigeon with coriander. The computer kitchen processing speed was so fast that the dishes were placed on the table in less than five minutes. Everyone was drooling, like the Yellow River flooding, and it was out of control...
Finally, the wine was served, top-grade aged Maotai. Everyone clinked glasses to celebrate their reunion in the game, and then they started eating. What is "swallowing everything in a flash"? This is it, in the blink of an eye, more than half of the food on the table was eaten! Even the only girl, Blue Crystal, didn't care about her image and stuffed her mouth with food. Haha, in addition to the fact that the game directly stimulates the taste nerve center of the brain, the dishes are more delicious than in reality, and everyone is really hungry. In order to save time, I just ate two pieces of bread in the game at noon. Now the hunger level is about to drop to the red line (below the red line, it will start to affect the character's attributes)!
After finishing the meal, I burped with satisfaction and paid the bill. Wow! 68 gold coins! Are you kidding me? But think about it, in reality, it would cost at least several thousand RMB to set up such a table? The feeling of enjoyment in the dream is not much different from reality, or even better, so I was relieved. Fortunately, I had more than 80 gold coins left from killing the Bat King, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself!
After the meal, everyone ordered a cup of tea and started chatting. I asked them and found out that their average level had reached 14. The highest level, Ji Mo, Han Jiang, and A Wei, had already reached 15. A Wei was a special account with extra points, so it was fine. But it was beyond my expectation that the others could level up so quickly. It seemed that everyone cooperated well in team-killing monsters! However, the equipment I gave them also helped a lot. They killed monsters much faster than ordinary players. You know, it is difficult to buy equipment in Fantasy now even if you have money. Many people are still using the novice cloth clothes and short swords given by the system!
I took out the equipment I had just obtained in the dark cave from my backpack with a smile, and everyone exclaimed: "Oh my God, Xue, how many surprises are you going to bring us? What monsters did you kill this time? The equipment is a level higher than the one you gave us this morning. Our upgrade speed can't catch up with the speed at which you get equipment!"
Everyone shared the equipment I took out, but I didn't give it away for free. As usual, I gave the equipment to my friends first, and when their levels were upgraded and they changed a batch of equipment, I consigned the replaced equipment. Their levels in this fantasy game were considered high, and when they replaced their old equipment, it was also the time when the market demand was the highest, so they should be able to sell it for a good price. Of course, the profit from selling the equipment belonged to me.
We were chatting happily when the system suddenly sent a reminder: Good evening, everyone. It is now 20:00 on June 2nd in real time. Fantasy Zero has been officially open for 24 hours. The rankings have been announced. Interested players can check in the system help. I wish you all a happy game, and I hope you can make it to the list through your own efforts!
Hehe, the reason why I persisted until the game was open for 24 hours was to wait for this ranking.
I silently opened the system menu, and the "Rankings" item in the help column really lit up. I clicked the virtual mouse to enter. There were four items in total: level list, reputation list, wealth list, and equipment list. Each list lists the data of the top 100 players, but the player's name will not be indicated without the player's consent. The data after 100 is hidden, but you can also check your own character information to find out your ranking among players. For example, Zhang San checks his own character information and gets: Zhang San, account number XXXXXXXXXXX, current level 12, player ranking 2634881... etc.
Let's take a look at the level list first. The first one is level 19 (of course it's me), a human knight, name hidden. But the second guy is actually level 17. Who is so amazing? You know, my leveling speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people! I guess that guy also has several extra attribute points. Even if he is not as abnormal as me, it is not much different. He probably made an account with 00000888888. He also did not disclose his name. His race and profession is orc berserker. Haha, it can't be Brother Myna? Behind him are a large number of level 16s. I guess they have not rested like me until now, but even so, their leveling speed is terrifying. There are really many old birds!
Momo, Hanjiang and Awei also made it into the rankings, but they were ranked in the back 70 to 80.
I was the absolute leaderboard ...
The wealth list... I'd better not look at it. It would hurt my self-esteem! (Sure enough, Ah Wei was already screaming: "Which bastard actually exchanged 5 million gold coins? God, why are you so unfair?")
In the equipment list, the Bloodthirsty Demon Spear is at the top. There are about 20 pieces of Dark Gold equipment, most of which are dropped by Bosses from King Slime to Goblin Chieftain (but it is not ruled out that small monsters may drop gold and Dark Gold equipment, but the probability is too small), but it is still less than expected. There are a total of 1,000 Novice Villages open worldwide, and there are 1,000 King Slime alone (it has been refreshed four times, which means 4,000), but only a few of them are dropped. The drop rate is really fantastic... The Hand Axe of Strength is also on the list, and it overwhelms several Dark Gold equipment and ranks in the top 10.
Haha, it seems that I have done well! Apart from wealth, I am the strongest! But that is also from outside the game. As for the money earned in the game, no one should be better than me, right?
He stretched himself and said hello to everyone, "Okay, I'm going to log off and go to bed. I haven't had a rest yet. You guys have fun. Bye..."
After that, I quit the game. I wasn't too sleepy, but I knew the game had just begun, and the next step would be the really hard battles. If you can't properly arrange the time for playing games and resting, you can't be considered a qualified professional player. There is still a long way to go!
